How can you tell whether you're travelling too fast or too slow? If you're travelling too fast, you'll usually get a narrow weld bead with poor fusion and little or no penetration. If you're travelling too slowly, the weld bead will be wider with excessive weld build-up, possible burn-through, increased distortion, and a much larger heat-affected zone.
