Abstract
A system and method is provided in which a welding system modulates the heat input into a weld joint during welding by changing between a high heat input welding waveform and a low heat input welding waveform. The system can utilize detected weld joint geometry and thickness to vary the utilization of the high heat and low heat waveform portions to change the weld bead profile during welding. Additionally, the wire feed speed is changed with the changes between the high heat input and low heat input portions of the welding waveform.
