Deposition rate

The amount of weld metal deposited per unit time on a stated measurement basis.

Where it matters

Used to assess a welding process alongside accepted output and rework.

Testing and verification

Deposition rate is not wire-feed speed, duty cycle or total production rate; time basis and losses matter.

Technical references
