Ok guys what is the magic bullet to get every pass to fall in line within 10% of the average(minus the root and cap)?
Voltage and Amperage are staying fairly close to each other, but the welder is watching how his passes are filling in and adjusting his travel speed accordingly, which is killing me on keeping this heat input with in 10%.
How do you know before the pass is complete if it is going to be within 10%? How am I going to know the average until I average all of those passes?
If the welder sees that his groove is filling too fast to get an additional pass in that layer he is going to speed up and mess with my heat input. We will be wasting a lot of plate and time trying to hit this magic number...feels a lot like throwing darts at a board hoping to get a bull's eye. I just need to get a completed 30" plate off to the lab so I can help this small fabricator get their CAR resolved and we are running out of time.
My head will look like the top of Al's if I keep pulling hair out
