Abstract
An arc-welding method, which comprises: arc-welding objects of welding together along the line of a groove formed between said objects of welding by continuously moving a welding electrode along the line of said groove while reciprocating said welding electrode in the width direction of said groove; characterized by: calculating at prescribed time intervals, for each one reciprocation of said welding electrode in the width direction of said groove, deviations (I-Io) of values (I) of one of arc current and arc voltage from a previously set reference value (Io), for each of left-side deviations (L) and right-side deviations (R) relative to the vertical plane which passes through the center of amplitude of said one reciprocation of said welding electrode and is parallel to the line of said groove; calculating at said time intervals, when said welding electrode moves over the left side of said groove relative to said vertical plane, differences (L-R) between said left-side deviations (L) and the immediately preceding right-side deviations (R), for controllably aligning the center of said amplitude of said one reciprocation of said welding electrode with the center of said groove in the…
