22
Q

What might causes Undercut?

A

Excessive weld heat input

Too high weld travel speed
(this may be the cause when not allowing the time to deposit sufficient filler metal)

Too low travel speed
(This may be the cause when heat input is excessive, therefore a lower travel speed increases the amount of heat input)
