The present paper considers methods of calculation of maximum temperatures in welding using a constant welding speed and a point heat energy source. A comparison of theoretically obtained times for the occurrence of maximum temperatures with those obtained experimentally shows slight deviations. The latter are dependent only on the accuracy of temperature measurements and the workpiece size (i.e. plate size in the present work). In the present case, the limitations refer only to the workpiece size. The advantage of this new approach is in the determination of a plane curve which is an envelope of all the points in the workpiece that are simultaneously at the maximum temperature in arc welding.
