Contour corner compensation

Corner Contour Compensation dynamically adjusts feed and gas pressure to weld sharper corners without burn-through or rounding.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

Corner Contour Compensation lowers the local temperature at corners by adjusting travel speed and gas pressure. This prevents the metal from melting too fast or burning through.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

Without corner contour compensation, corners can burn through and edges can become rounded. This leads to inaccurate weld geometries and possible loss of strength.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use corner contour compensation when welding sharper corners. Keep an eye on temperature and travel speed. If problems come up, adjust gas pressure and travel speed.
