Bead simulator
Try how electrode angle, arc length and travel speed change the bead with an MMA E6013 Ø2.5 mm electrode.
5–20° drag is recommended so the slag stays behind the pool.
About the core diameter, so roughly 2.5 mm.
Keep the arc in the front third of the pool; the pool should stay the same width.
- Width
- ≈ 7 mm
- Reinforcement
- ≈ 1.7 mm
- Penetration
- ≈ 1.2 mm
The bead looks fine.
A simplified model based on the rules in the knowledge base. It shows which way the bead changes, not exact dimensions.
