C’mon Guru’s,
Why is there such a difference between the northern and southern hemishpere when it comes to this. Shurely the heat imput doesn’t react differently down here. 😮
I am talking about the “k” factor. It is the effiacncy of the proccess to transfer arc energy into heat energy. As defined in BS EN 1011 part 1.
Heat Input Q =[k(factor) x U(Minimum Volts) x l(Minimum Amp) / Minimum Travel Speed] x 10-3
k(factor)=Tig welding 0.6 & MMA 0.8
