| Current (amps): | |
| Voltage (volts): | |
| Travel speed (mm/min or inch/min): | |
| Thermal efficiency of the welding process: | |
| Heat input (kJ/mm or kJ/inch): | |
Note - Travel Speed = Weld Length divided by Weld Time in minutes
Please refer to Below thermal efficiencies to input in the above table.
