How does arc blow affect welding?

In: Technology, Welding and Cutting [Edit categories]

Answer:

Arc blow is a magnetic field formed in the weld area. It will pull the arc back and forth keeping it from being concentrated directly ahead of the electrode. Metal in some areas will not be melted and slag will flow into these voids trapping it. The arc can expell molten metal from the joint creating spatter. Arc blow can be very severe.
