Robotic Welding
Arc blow
- The deflection of an electric arc from its normal path because of magnetic forces.
Arc force
- Arc force prevents the electrode from sticking during welding. Arc force is a temporary increase of the output current during welding
when the arc is too short. This feature supports production with consistently excellent arc performance. It also enhances simple position
welding making the job easier. In order to produce an outstanding weld performance on a variety of electrodes (rutile, basic or cellulose),
the arc force can be finely adjusted with a simple knob. To have a smooth arc with less spatter, set the knob to minimum (rutile, basic). For a
more crisp arc, with more penetration, set it to maximum.
Arc time
- The time during which an arc is maintained in making an arc weld.
Arc voltage
- The voltage across the welding arc.
Arc Welding
- Welding processes which use heat from the resistance of current flow and arc rays to produce coalescence of metals. Can use either
direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, consumable or non-consumable electrodes, with or without the application of pressure.

equipment may of may not perform the loading and unloading of the work. See machine welding.
Automatic Welding
- Uses equipment that welds without the constant adjusting of controls by the welder or operator. Equipment controls joint alignment by
using an automatic sensing device.
Axis of a weld
- A line through the length of a weld, perpendicular to and at the geometric center of its cross section.
Back gouging
- The removal of weld metal and base metal from the other side of a partially welded joint to assure complete penetration upon
subsequent welding from that side.
Backhand welding
- A welding technique in which the welding torch or gun is directed opposite to the progress of welding. Sometimes referred to as the
“pull gun technique” in GMAW and FCAW.
Backing
- A material (base metal, weld metal, carbon, or granular material) placed at the root of a weld joint for the purpose of supporting molten
weld metal.

coating or covering applied to it other than that which was incidental to its manufacture or preservation.
Bare metal arc welding (BMAW)
- An arc welding process which produces coalescence of metals by heating them with an electric arc between a bare or lightly coated metal
electrode and the work. Neither shielding nor pressure is used and filler metal is obtained from the electrode. (This process is now obsolete
in industrial applications).

Collaborative Robot
- A robotic system that is designed to work in tandem with a human operator. The BotX Welder is an example of a collaborative welding
robot.
Complete fusion
- Fusion which has occurred over the entire base material surfaces intended for welding, and between all layers and passes.
Complete joint penetration
- Joint penetration in which the weld metal completely fills the groove and is fused to the base metal throughout its total thickness.
Composite electrode
- Any of a number of multicomponent filler metal electrodes in various physical forms such as stranded wires, tubes, and covered wire.
Composite joint
- A joint produced by welding used in conjunction with a non-welding process.
Concave fillet weld
- A fillet weld having a concave face.
Concave root surface
- A root surface which is concave.
Concavity
Feedback
- The maximum distance from the face of a concave fillet weld perpendicular to a line joining the toes.
Concurrent heating
- The application of supplemental heat to a structure during a welding or cutting operation.
Constant Current (CC) Welding Machine
- These welding machines have limited maximum short circuit current. They have a negative volt-amp curve and are often referred to as
"droopers."
Constant speed wire feeders
- A constant speed wire feeder is used only with a constant voltage (CV) power source. This arrangement requires an extra control cord
between the wire feeder and the power source but that allows operators to control both voltage and wire feed speed (amperage) at the
feeder, a big benefit when working remotely. Further, voltage and amperage values remain constant unless manually adjusted, and both can
be adjusted independently of each other. When welding procedures specify wire feed speed and voltage (instead of amps and volts), a
constant speed feeder may be your best choice. When you set the controls for a wire feed speed of 250 inches per minute, that's what the
system delivers. Wire feed speed does not vary like it does with a voltage sensing system. Both VS and RC feeders have digital meters,
typically an option, make setting e xact parameters easier. The meters display wire feed speed or volts (one at a time) or they can be set to
display amps or wire feed speed (one at a time).
Constant Voltage (CV), Constant Potential (CP) Welding Machine
- This type of welding machine output maintains a relatively stable, consistent voltage regardless of the amperage output. It results in a
relatively flat volt-amp curve.
Consumable guide electro slag welding
- A method of electroslag welding in which filler metal is supplied by an electrode and its guiding member.
Consumable insert
- Preplaced filler metal which is completely fused into the root of the joint and becomes part of the weld.
Contact tube
- A device which transfers current to a continuous electrode.
Continuous sequence
- A longitudinal sequence in which each pass is made continuously from one end of the joint to the other.
Continuous weld
- A weld extends continuously from one end of a joint to the other. Where the joint is essentially circular, it extends completely around the
joint.
Control Module Input Cable v 14-pin MS-type and Twist Mate™ K493-10
- Used with K487-25 Magnum SG Spool Gun to connect K488 Control Module to Lincoln CV power sources having 14-pin control cable

Covered electrode
- A composite filler metal electrode consisting of a core of a bare electrode or metal cored electrode to which a covering sufficient to
provide a slag layer on the weld metal has been applied. The covering may contain materials providing such functions as shielding from the
atmosphere, deoxidation, and arc stabilization and can serve as a source of metallic additions to the weld.
Crack
- A fracture-type discontinuity characterized by a sharp tip and high ratio to length and width to opening displacement.
Crater
- In arc welding, a depression at the termination of a weld bead or in the molten weld pool.
Crater crack
- A crack in the crater of a weld bead.

to meet minimum applicable acceptance standards or specifications. This terms designates reject ability.
Defective weld
- A weld containing one or more defects.
Deposited metal
- Filler metal that has been added during a welding operation.
Deposition efficiency (arc welding)
- The ratio of the weight of deposited metal to the net weight of filler metal consumed, exclusive of stubs.
Depth of fusion
- The distance that fusion extends into the base metal or previous pass from the surface melted during welding.
Destructive Testing (DT)
- A method of testing a constructed or welded piece where the piece is destroyed while being tested to the point of failure. See Weld
Quality Assurance
Dig
- Also called Arc Control. Gives a power source variable additional amperage during low voltage (short arc length) conditions while
welding. Helps avoid “sticking” stick electrodes when a short arc length is used.
Dilution
- The change in chemical composition of a welding filler material caused by the admixture of the base material or previously deposited
weld material in the deposited weld bead. It is normally measured by the percentage or base material or previously deposited weld material
in the weld bead.
Direct current electrode negative
- The arrangement of direct current arc welding leads in which the work is the positive pole and the electrode is the negative pole of the
welding arc.
Direct current electrode positive
- The arrangement of direct current arc welding leads in which the work is the negative pole and the electrode is the positive pole of the
welding arc.
Discontinuity
- An interruption of the typical structure of a weldment, such as a lack of homogeneity in the mechanical, metallurgical, or physical
characteristics of the material or weldment. A discontinuity is not necessarily a defect.
Double-welded joint
- In arc and oxyfuel gas welding, any joint welded from both sides.
Drag angle
- The travel angle when the electrode is pointing backward. This angle can be used to define the position of welding guns, welding torches,
high energy beams, welding rods, thermal cutting and thermal spraying guns.

overheating with rapid diffusion or alloying between the filler metal and the base metal.
Drum
- A filler metal package type consisting of a continuous length of electrode wound or coiled within an enclosed cylindrical container.
Dual Fuel Generators
- Power generators which can run on 2 different fuels such as diesel or natural gas. Dual Fuel Generators can be more fuel efficient than
other models and offer flexibility.
Dustless Blasting
- Dustless wet media blasting is an excellentalternative to sandblasting. Sandblasting can create a lot of dust which requires specialized
containment measures. Dustless blasting refers to blast cleaning methods like wet media blasting which don't produce any dust cloud. Any
time a surface is cleaned with any blast cleaning method, there will always be some residual material (paint, rust, dirt etc) which is stripped
away. The dust referred to in dustless blasting is that which comes from the blasting media itself ie. sand. The Clearblast 150 is a good
example of a dustless blasting machine.
Duty cycle
- The percentage of time during an arbitrary test period, usually 10 min. during which a power supply can be operated at its rated output

Inverter Welding Power Source
- Power source that increases the frequency of the incoming primary power, thus providing for a smaller size machine and improved
electrical characteristics for welding, such as faster response time and more control. Inverters are more portable and lighter weight than
traditional transformer-rectifiers, making them easier to maneuver around the job site. In addition, inverters offer high-quality, multi-process
welding capabilities so that one machine can handle Stick, MIG, TIG, FCAW, arc gouging and even pulsing.
Inverters can also save money in energy costs over traditional-type power sources since:
Greater transformer efficiencies are realized through the use of ferrite cores in the inverter's power transformer. This reduces the current
losses resulting in lower idle currents in the supply conductors.
The inverter transformer coils are physically smaller than common transformers. A smaller coil translates to less wire wrapping around the
core - less wire means fewer losses and greater efficiency.
The inverter's power electronic components have been carefully designed to reduce losses and extend operating life.
Many inverters use a copper conductor. Copper has higher thermal and electrical conductivity compared to aluminum, which will minimize
losses and maximize efficiency.
Operating at higher frequencies than conventional welders, inverters require less output inductance for smooth operation. The energy
needed for stick welding or for globular transfer welding processes is stored in capacitors allowing for smaller output chokes.
The compact design and relatively small physical size of an inverter welder means shorter leads and cables (or even direct connections)
between power components. Shorter current paths translate to lower resistances and better efficiencies.
https://www.red-d-arc.com/Welding-Terms-And-Definitions-Dictionary.aspx 14/41
1/5/24, 10:46 PM Welding Terms and Definitions Dictionary | Red-D-Arc Welder Rentals
Because the inverter is designed to inherently have low losses, smaller cooling fans are required. This means less power is needed for
moving cooling air and, again, greater efficiency.
The smaller size of the components inside the inverter machine translate into less heat to dissipate and again, greater efficiency

Lincoln Inverter Technology
- Lincoln inverter-based welding power sources operate at frequencies above 20 kHz, whereas traditional power sources operate at a line
frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. Some of the advantages an inverter has are smaller magnetic components (chokes and transformers), higher
efficiency, and a fast response to the welding arc. Inverter power sources were first introduced into the welding industry in the early 1980s.
The initial attraction of the inverter was its small size and easy portability. For example, a rectifier-based machine, could weigh as much as
four times that of an inverter-based machine. Less space is needed and the inverter unit is easily moved around the job site. As the
popularity and reliability of the inverter increased, the capabilities were expanded. Inverters are now designed for many different processes:
SMAW, GTAW, FCAW, SAW, and are capable of operating in extreme environments. Over the last decade, Lincoln Electric has invested heavily
in developing inverter technology, producing highly reliable inverter machines.

Lincoln Micro-Start Technology™
- Micro-Start TIG technology employs an independent power supply capable of welding without SCR assistance at low amperages – SCRs
only fire to raise the current and supplement the 2 amp welding supply. This gives Micro-Start TIG very stable low current welding and
provides it with the ability to eliminate erratic high frequency and weld thin materials in a consistent, high quality manner. Lincoln is the first
manufacturer to offer a background circuit from which an operator can weld and smoothly transition to, or from, higher outputs. Micro-Start
TIG is capable of independently welding off of its electronic power supply when the amperage is down to the minimum rated 2 amps. As the
operator depresses the foot Amptrol™ to increase the current, the main welding circuit (i.e. transformer and SCR bridge) turns on and
provides amperage. The technology assists the transformer SCR choke circuit with its special electronic welding circuit instead of completely
relying on chokes to smooth the arc as do conventional machines. The result is a very stable and smooth output at low amperage levels.
With Micro-Start TIG, operators don’t have to buy more expensive machines to get low end welding capabilities – Micro-Start technology is
able to provide inverter-like performance using a lower cost, conventional machine. With Lincoln’s Micro-Start TIG technology, an operator
at virtually any TIG skill level will be able to make repeatable, high-quality starts, welds and finishes. This is because the new technology
makes it easy to overcome the most common TIG welding issues with machines that overcome the most common performance limitations.
Lincoln Micro-Start™ II Technology
- Micro-Start II provides the operator with the ability to weld at lower DC amperages and “feather out” to as low as 2-5 amps at the end of
the weld. Also, once the high frequency initiates the DC arc, the control circuit prevents the high frequency from coming on again during
crater fill. In effect, the high frequency is no longer needed because Micro-Start technology provides tremendous low amperage stability for
the machine. With Micro-Start II technology (found on Lincoln Precision TIG welders), Lincoln Electric has devised a way to get the arc
established more quickly, more smoothly and with greater stability. It does this using an electronic low amp welding power supply to
https://www.red-d-arc.com/Welding-Terms-And-Definitions-Dictionary.aspx 18/41
1/5/24, 10:46 PM Welding Terms and Definitions Dictionary | Red-D-Arc Welder Rentals
supplement the main power supply. The starting circuit offers just enough energy to heat the tungsten and establish a more stable plasma
flow to the work piece. This starting sequence is short and provides precise control over starting conditions. In effect, Micro-Start II
technology is so effective that most operators cannot detect that the high frequency was used during starting. In many traditional, low
amperage TIG applications, operators have trouble maintaining a smooth, stable arc. This is because the machine's choke cannot store
enough energy between SCR firings to stabilize the arc. The resultant ‘ripple effect’ creates arc instability, which may result in arc outages
followed by high-frequency arc re-initiations. These erratic outages can lead to inconsistencies in the weld. Micro-Start TIG utilizes a
separate electronic power supply to establish an arc and weld at the Precision TIG minimum rated amps. When the operator first depresses
the foot pedal, this separate power supply starts and welds independently of the Precision TIG main welding circuit (i.e. transformer and SCR
bridge). As the operator further depresses the foot pedal to increase the current, the main welding circuit turns on and provides additional
amperage. Unlike conventional machines, which rely completely on the SCR choke, Micro-Start technology’s special electronic welding
circuit assists the transformer SCR choke circuit by delivering smooth power to the arc. This gives the Precision TIG very stable low-current
welding capability and provides the customer with the ability to weld thin materials in a consistent, high-quality manner.

source, as a result of electrical resistance through the cables, only 20 volts may actually be available at the wire feeder. This would result in a
cold weld. True Voltage Technology (TVT) calculates this drop and gives the true voltage set at the wire feeder by adjusting the power source
to compensate for the voltage drop. In this example, 24 volts is preset at the wire feeder. TVT senses there is a 4 volt drop due to long weld
cables and compensates by increasing the welder power source output to 28 volts. The result is that the desired 24 volt is available at the
welding arc.

MIG (GMAW) Welding
- MIG is an acronym for Metal-Inert-Gas, also known as GMAW or Gas Metal Arc Welding. This arc welding process uses a spooled,
continuously fed filler metal (consumable) electrode. Shielding is provided by externally supplied gas or gas mixtures. Easiest process to
learn, High welding speeds possible, Provides better control on thinner metals, Cleaner welds possible with no slag, Same equipment can be
used for flux-cored welding. For welding steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, aluminium, copper/brass. Learn More about: Aluminum MIG
Welding, MIG Packages, MIG Wirefeeder Welders, Miller MIG Welders Lincoln MIG Welders
MIG/MAG GMAW Welding
- MIG stands for Metal Inert Gas. Only inert gases or gas mixtures are used for the shielding gas when MIG welding. Typical inert gases
used for MIG welding are argon and helium. These gases are usually used for MIG welding of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. MAG
stands for Metal Active Gas. Active gas mixtures have been developed primarily for welding steels. Typical shielding gases are mixtures of
argon, carbon dioxide and oxygen e.g. CO2 , Ar + 2 to 5% O2 , Ar + 5 to 25% CO2 and Ar + 10% CO2 + 5% O 2 . The composition of the
shielding gas has a substantial effect on the stability of the arc, metal transfer and the amount of spatter. The shielding gas also affects the
behaviour of the weld pool, particularly its penetration and the mechanical properties of the welded joint. In the US, both MIG and MAG
welding are described by the term GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding).

Paralleling
- Running multiple power generators to form a large capacity power source with redundancy. Often used for mission critical operations
such as oilfield and emergency backup power. More about paralleling generators.
Partial joint penetration
- Joint penetration which is less than complete.
Pass
- A single progression of a welding or surfacing operation along a joint, weld deposit, or substrate. The result of a pass is a weld bead,
layer, or spray deposit.
Peel test
- A destructive method of inspection which mechanically separates a lap joint by peeling.
Peening
- The mechanical working of metals using impact blows.
Plano lens (eye protection)
- A lens which does not incorporate correction.
Plasma
- A gas that has been heated to an at least partially ionized condition, enabling it to conduct an electric current.
Plasma Arc Welding (PAW)
- An arc welding process which produces coalescence of metals by heating them with a constricted arc between an electrode and the
workpiece (transferred arc) or the electrode and the constricting nozzle (non transferred arc). Shielding is obtained from the hot, ionized gas
issuing from the orifice which may be supplemented by an auxiliary source of shielding gas. Shielding gas may be an inert gas or a mixture
of gases. Pressure may or may not be used, and filler metal may or may not be supplied. View all Plasma Cutters
Plug weld
- A circular weld made through a hole in one member of a lap or T-joint fusing that member to the other. The walls of the hole may or may
not be parallel and the hole may be partially or completely filled with weld metal. (A fillet welded hole or a spot weld should not be
construed as conforming to this definition.)
Polarity
- Electrode welding polarity affects the penetration level of the weld. With most arc welding processes, DC+ (direct current electrode
positive) polarity produces more weld penetration, because more arc energy is focused into the base plate. Conversely, DC- (direct current
electrode negative) polarity produces less weld penetration, because more arc energy is focused into the electrode and not into the base
plate. This is the case with the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW) and SAW
https://www.red-d-arc.com/Welding-Terms-And-Definitions-Dictionary.aspx 30/41

processes. The exception is the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process, in which the effect of polarity on penetration is opposite. With
GTAW, DC- polarity results in more weld penetration (with DC+ polarity generally not used).
Porosity
- Cavity type discontinuities formed by gas entrapment during solidification.
Positioned weld
- a weld made in a joint which has been so placed as to facilitate making the weld. See: welding positioners.

- The detailed elements (with prescribed values or ranges of values) of a process or method used to produce a specific result.
Procedure qualification
- The demonstration that welds made by a specific procedure can meet prescribed standards.
Progressive block sequence
- A block sequence during which successive blocks are completed progressively along the joint, either from one end to the other or from
the center of the joint toward either end.
Protective atmosphere
- A gas envelope surrounding the part to be brazed, welded or thermal sprayed, with the gas composition controlled with respect to
chemical composition, dew point, pressure, flow rate, etc. Example are inert gases, combusted fuel gases, hydrogen and vacuum.
Pulse
- A current of controlled duration through a welding circuit.
Pulse time
- The duration of a pulse.
Pulsed MIG (GMAW-P)
- A modified spray transfer process that produces no spatter, because the wire does not touch the weld puddle. Applications best suited
for pulsed MIG are those currently using the short circuit transfer method for welding steel, 14 gauge (1.8 mm) and up. Flexibility and
productivity—nearly all metals can be welded in all positions, Larger diameter electrode wires for higher deposition rates, Virtually no
spatter, Welds thin to thick metalsArticle: Why Use Pulsed MIG?
Push Angle
- The travel angle when the electrode is pointing in the direction of travel. Defines the position of welding guns, welding torches, high
energy beams, welding rods, thermal cutting and thermal spraying torches, and thermal spraying guns in a forward direction.

typically results in people asking, “How come unit X, Y or Z doesn’t have HF capabilities?” The simple answer is that ESAB and the other
manufacturers do have units specifically designed to provide HF TIG arc starts. Going beyond that, it might help to understand that HF is a
High-Voltage, Low Current, high RF frequency that is induced onto the welding lead. Incorporating HF components adds hundreds of dollars
in cost to a power source, and not every customer wants to pay for functionality they don’t plan to use. That’s why equipment
manufacturers offer Lift TIG-only power sources only and power sources with both Lift TIG and HF TIG arc starts. For more information visit

Voltage regulator
- An automatic electrical control device for maintaining a constant voltage supply to the primary of a welding transformer.
Voltage sensing wire feeders
- Voltage sensing wire feeders (also referred to as across-the-arc wire feeders) operate on arc voltage, eliminating the need for a control
cord between the power source and the wire feeder. A voltage sensing wire feeder can be paired with either a constant voltage (CV) or a
constant current (CC) power source. These feeders typically have a CC/CV switch inside the case. With a voltage sensing wire feeder and CV
power source, voltage is set at the power source while wire feed speed (amperage) is set at the feeder. This can present a headache when
working remotely from the power source, such as up on scaffolding and when you need to adjust voltage. Also, because voltage varies
directly with distance between the electrode and the work piece (arc length), the feeder attempts to regulate voltage variations (e.g., an
unsteady hand) by controlling wire feed speed. This means your parameters can vary slightly. Many engineering firms, construction

companies and building codes no longer allow flux cored welding (FCAW) with a CC power source. It does not provide adequate assurance
that the weld is being made with the proper voltage because operators must hunt for a voltage because the voltage fluxuates on a volt/amp
curve from the CC power source. Instead, experts recommend a CV power source for wire welding, especially for the nickel-alloy and other
flux cored wires used for structural welds on buildings and bridges. These wires are very voltage sensitive and generally require the fine-
tuning capabilities of a CV machine.

What is VRD?
- VRD stands for voltage reduction device. When VRD is included in the design of a welding machine it reduces the maximum unloaded
open circuit voltage (OCV) across the output terminals of a welding machine to a safe voltage. Normally this reduced voltage is about 12
volts. When a load of less than 200 ohms resistance is applied to the output of the welding machine, the VRD will sense this resistance and
adjust the welder to full output so that the welding arc can be established and welding commenced. When the resistance across the output
rises above 200 ohms, or the electrode is removed from the workpiece, then VRD will adjust the output of the welder back to a reduced
output state. Why is this necessary? A lot of new welders, and some older units, have an open circuit voltage in excess of 105 volts DC or 85
volts AC. This voltage may be legal, and in normal (dry) conditions may be quite safe. The problem is that many sites have "abnormal" (e.g.
damp, wet, caustic, salty conditions, high or confined space) working conditions, and an electric shock in these situations can be hazardous
to the operator including dangers due to ventricular fibrillation, falling from heights, and inability to escape the power source when in
confined spaces, not to mention the serious physical injuries sustained as a secondary result of an electric shock. Electric shock from a
welder power source can also cause serious internal injuries to the human body which are not always immediately noticeable. On some
welders, such as Red-D-Arc's FX500XL, the VRD™ functionality must be set manually via internal switches on the machine, and in the case of
the FX500XL, only operates in CC-Stick mode. From the FX500XL IM Manual: "The VRD™ feature provides additional safety in the CC-Stick
mode. The VRD™ reduces the OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) at the welding output terminals while not welding to less than 35VDC peak. The
VRD™ requires that the welding cable connections be kept in good electrical condition because poor connections will contribute to poor
(arc) starting. Having good electrical connections also limits the possibility of other safety issues such as heat-generated damage, burns and
fires. The machine is shipped with VRD™ “Disabled”. The VRD™ function can be disabled or enabled via dip switches on the user interface
P.C. board. The user interface board and dip switches can be accessed by removing the case top and side as shown in Internal Controls
section."

- A device used for controlling the cast of coiled wire to enable it to be easily fed in to the gun.
Work angle
- The angle that the electrode makes with the referenced plane or surface of the base metal in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the
weld.
