ing of plates (particularly in the case of square grooves), Current (A) 330–353
certain melting of the groove corner and stable melting Voltage (V) 35.3
of the groove sidewall are necessary. However, as shown Welding speed

in Photo 1, in 1pass one-layer welding (with oscillation)
of a square groove, melting of the sidewall is limited to Heat input (kJ/mm) 1.3
