[MW:12666] maximum penetration in welding proccesses

 

 Hi ,

 

I googled about max. penetration that can be obtained in arc welding proccesses and find below article from TWI.

 

 I would like to know accrding to proccesses and welding parameters is there any calculation for penetration that can be obtained.

 

Thanks.

 

"The conventional arc welding processes can penetrate into the base metal by only a limited amount.

 

The maximum penetration in conventional TIG or manual metal arc (SMAW) welds is in the region of 3mm,

 

MAG (GMAW) welds around 6mm and

 

submerged arc some 15mm."
