Feasible working limits of process parameters.

ParametersLimitsDefects

(rpm)Due to low heat generation in sufficient material flow
High heat input resulted in severe plastic deformation
(mm/min)Insufficient material flow resulted in poor bonding
Excess flash-key hole defect
(sec)Lack of dwell time causes insufficient bonding of the material
More dwell time causes key hole formation
Heat generation low-insufficient material flow
High heat input and more distortion
