H = E*I*60/S
Where:
The weld travel speed is possibly the parameter that can be modified more easily, so
that any increase will reduce heat input. One must remember that the use of this
formula has to be taken as an approximation because of the large heat losses
unaccounted for. It may be useful, however, for comparison.
Its importance is due to the fact that some welding specifications limit heat input
allowable, especially for the welding of quenched and tempered steels. Anyhow also
the requirement is not a fixed number because of its dependence upon other welding
conditions. It must therefore be interpreted according to the prevailing conditions. A
higher heat input is permissible for increased thickness. It should be decreased for
increasing preheat temperature.
For important applications series of tests should be implemented to verify the actual
mechanical properties obtained with different heat inputs.
The decision if to implement and which Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) will
depend upon results and requirements,
