How to use
Enter average arc voltage, current, travel speed in mm/min and efficiency from 0 to 1. Arc energy and efficiency-adjusted heat input are separate.
Example calculation
U = 24 V, I = 200 A, v = 300 mm/min, η = 0.8 → AE = 0.96 kJ/mm; HI = 0.768 kJ/mm.
Calculation method
AE[kJ/mm] = 60 × U[V] × I[A] / (1000 × v[mm/min]) HI = η × AE
Calculation limits
Preliminary steady-arc estimate; does not directly model pulsed waveforms. Efficiency must exceed 0 and match the process and procedure.
