The Wind Line

Premise

At 8 m/s (17.9 mph), argon shielding gas collapses around a TIG/MIG arc. Oxygen intrusion begins within 0.3 seconds. The weld pool oxidizes. The joint fails.

Source

• Standard: AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code — Steel
• Section: 5.2 Environmental Controls
• Threshold: 8 m/s maximum wind velocity for gas-shielded processes

The Math

Critical Velocity (v_c) = 8 m/s
Shielding Integrity = 1 - (v / v_c)^2
When v ≥ v_c: Integrity → 0
