Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the welding current is correct and the weld is not too hot or too cold, the ripples produced will be smooth and rounded, indicating a consistent and well-penetrated weld. Pointed ripples may indicate an overheated weld, while teardrop-shaped ripples may indicate an underheated weld. High and narrow ripples may occur with a higher welding current or speed, but may also indicate a lack of penetration.
