24、 controlled increase of the beam power at the beginning of welding 3.2 slope down controlled decrease of the beam power at the end of welding. The slope down region is the region on the workpiece in which the effects of slope down occur. It can consist of one or two areas, depending on the selected
25、welding mode: a) in full penetration welding: a region where beam penetration is still complete; a region where penetration is partial or decreasing. b) in partial penetration welding: a region where penetration decreases continuously.

26、the surface of the workpiece and a standard reference point of the equipment which is traceable to the true focusing lens centre NOTE This is a practical reference distance only. 3.4 tacking pass pass made to hold the parts to be welded in proper alignment until the final welds are made NOTE This ma
