Process data logging
Process data logging is the digital recording of all relevant current, voltage, and speed values during welding. It ensures complete traceability of quality-relevant welds and meets common welding standards.
Physicochemical Mechanism of Action
Process data logging involves the digital recording of current, voltage, and travel speed during welding. This data helps analyze welding processes and understand the physical phenomena in the metal.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
Logging is crucial for quality assurance. It enables accurate traceability of welding parameters and helps identify potential issues like poor fusion or high hot cracking risk. Without logging, quality problems are hard to trace, posing risks to safety and weld life.
Shop Practice & Action Guidelines
To log process data, all relevant measurements (current, voltage, speed) must be recorded digitally during welding. This can be done with special welding machines or external sensors. It's important to regularly review and store the logs to ensure complete documentation. Recommended values for current and voltage vary by material, but always stick to the specified welding parameters.
