Crater Time Control

 

 

Use control to reduce current over a set period of time (0–15 seconds) at the end of the weld cycle when NOT using a remote current control.

3 Final Current Control

Final current is the current to which weld current has sloped down to (0–100% of current set on Amperage Adjust control).

Application:

Crater Time should be used while GTAW welding materials that are crack sensitive, and/or the opera- tor wants to eliminate the crater at the end of the weld.

Note: This applies if the operator is using an on/off only type control to start and stop the welding pro- cess.
