What does inherent rectification increase during welding?

Inherent rectification refers to the ability of the welding system to control the flow of current in a way that makes the welding process more efficient and stable. This is particularly relevant in processes like Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), where the quality of the arc is critical for achieving a strong and clean weld.

When inherent rectification is present, it improves the stability of the arc during the welding process. A stable arc is vital for producing consistent welds and managing the heat input effectively. It makes it easier for the welder to control the arc and ensures that the weld pool remains steady, which helps to minimize defects such as porosity or undercutting.

While other factors like electrode wear, weld penetration, and welding speed are important in welding, they do not directly correlate with the concept of inherent rectification in the same way that arc stability does. When the arc is stable, the welder can focus more on the weld quality and achieve better results compared to a less stable arc, where fluctuations can lead to issues in the weld.
