Deposited weld metal
0.1413 kg

Mass = weld volume * deposited metal density.

Also computed

Estimated arc time 4.239 min

Arc time = deposited mass / deposited metal rate.

Filler metal required 0.1662 kg

Weld metal volume 18 cm³

Weld cross-section area 18 mm²

Deposition rate used 2 kg/h

Efficiency used (eta) 0.85

Method notes 3 notes
  • Equal-leg fillet area is estimated as 0.5 * leg^2 per side.
  • This estimates deposited weld metal and arc time only. Fit-up, starts/stops, crater fill, overweld, bevel groove volume, process duty cycle and operator time are not included.
  • Deposition rate and efficiency are process-specific. Use measured production data for quoting or scheduling.
