EN standards recommend to limit the weave width to 3 times electrode diameter
ASME Code doesn't suggest the limit of weaving but as a good engineering practice, it is restricted to 3 x Electrode Dia in case of SMAW and 12-13mm Max. in case of FCAW / GMAW.
Effect of weaving:
1. Reduction in number of passes to be deposited
2. increasing the heat input
3. Higher weaving also results in reduction of shielding gas at the edges if the parameters are not properly set
4. It affect the side wall fusion, need to ensure the proper dwell time at the ends
5. Weaving speed need to be control otherwise causes the arc deflication
6. Higher weaving causes the reduction in impact properties

Dear all
if the weld weave length increased What will happen to weld and what
is the corrective action to be taken for weld
please advise
is any code reference, please tell me
