SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO SELECT WELD PARAMETERS BASED ON THERMAL, ELECTRICAL, AND/OR CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Abstract:

An example welding interface device, includes: a user interface device; a processor; and a machine readable storage device comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine, via the user interface device, information describing physical characteristics of a workpiece for a weld to be performed; based on the physical characteristics, determining at least one of a thermal characteristic of the workpiece, an electrical characteristic of the workpiece, or a chemical characteristic of the workpiece; determine a boundary condition associated with the workpiece based on the at least one of the thermal characteristic, the electrical characteristic, or the chemical characteristic; and output a welding process based on the boundary condition.
