“…Bradstreet 2 is credited with publishing the first paper to directly recognise humping during GMAW. Since then, humping has been observed in GTAW, [3][4][5] submerged arc welding (SAW), 6,7 laser welding, 8,9 electron beam welding 10,11 and is even evident in other fields such as digital microfabrication using waxes. 12 Throughout these studies, different controlling variables have been identified, including welding atmosphere, metal composition, surface condition and heat input.…”
