Le Welding Speed and Penetration Calculator estimates how travel speed, welding current, and arc voltage affect heat input per unit length. Compare different travel speeds and review their relative heat input to help plan welding parameters. Use the results as a preliminary reference, since actual weld penetration also depends on the material, joint design, welding process, and operator technique.
