Technical Notes
- → 200A short-arc on 4.5 mm carbon steel — this is at the transition between short-arc and globular transfer, producing a highly dynamic pool
- → At 9.5 m/min wire feed the deposition rate is high, and the pool trailing edge shows rapid solidification with visible grain structure forming
- → This is the first of two recordings at identical parameters — compare with Recording B to assess camera repeatability and process consistency
Why this recording matters
200A on carbon steel is a common production setting for structural work. At this current, the arc is bright and the pool is large. Having two recordings at the same parameters lets you verify both camera consistency and welding process repeatability.
