[MW:5437] Re: is oscillation is same as weaving

This depends on what exactly you mean. Is there a specific QW-410.# to
which you are referring? The only sections of QW-410 that I can find
that reference oscillation or weaving are .1 and .7
QW-410.1 says "For manual or semiautomatic welding, a change from the
stringer bead technique to the weave bead technique or vice versa."
QW-410.7 says "For the machine or automatic welding process, a change
in width, frequency, or dwell time of oscillation technique."

Through my education I have learned that oscillation usually refers to
a circular motion, while weave refers to a back-and-forth motion.

This is as I know with which to answer your question, to be able to
answer you more fully would require more information.
