9.3.8 Slope Up/Down Function
The slope up/down function is used during welding to gradually change the welding condition. This
function is extremely effective in conducting heat for such operations on workpieces such as the one
shown below.
During the welding of a workpiece as shown below, especially during the period before the end of
welding, the tearing and dropping of metal can occur quite frequently due to heat conduction.
However, even in this example, if the welding condition is gradually decreased before the end of
welding, tearing and dropping of metal can be prevented.
