  DEPOSITION RATE
Equipment
The deposition rate describes how much usable weld metal will be deposited in one hour of actual arc-on
time. Because the mig process is very efficient, only a very small amount of weld metal is lost as spatter.
Power The deposition rate for any wire is calculated by the equation:
Supply
(m/min)
deposition rate(lbs./hr.) =     wire feed speed  (in./min.) x 60 min./hr.
