Some Fillet Weld Results`

A number of fillet welds made with the Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ are shown as examples. All of these welds comply with the AWS D1.1 Structural Steel Code and the AWS D1.5 Bridge Code and those codes that clone or refer to the AWS Codes.

All fillet welds conform to the acceptable size and gauge size requirements of the code.There has been no intent to match any specific mechanical properties, however, the welding consumables used to produce these welds are commonly used.

Figure 12: Horizontal, 5/16” (8mm) fillet welds, shows an increase of 40% in travel speed over DC+. Both welds made with 5/32” (4mm) diameter electrode at 527 amperes.

Figure 13: Flat positioned 1/2” (13mm) fillet welds show an increase of 44% in travel speed over DC+. Both welds made using 3/16” (4.8mm) diameter electrode at 885 amperes.

Figure 14: Horizontal 1/4” (6mm) fillet welds, with an increase of 32% in travel speed over DC+.

Figure 12

The weld on the left is DC+, 15 ipm travel.

The weld on the right is AC Balanced 25%, (-) 10% offset,

30 Hz., 21 ipm travel.

Figure 13

The weld on the left is with DC+, at 10.4 ipm travel. The weld on the right is with AC 25% Balanced, (-)20% Offset, 30Hz, at 15 ipm.

Figure 14

The weld on the left is with DC+.

The weld on the right is with AC 25% Balanced,
