1. A method for controlling weld energy used in a welding process comprising the steps of:

  • establishing an energy profile used over the period of the weld cycle to perform the welding process;

    monitoring the expulsion rate during the welding process;

    modifying the established energy profile based on the expulsion rate; and

    using the modified energy profile to perform the welding process;

    creating a target factored energy profile used to calculate a total factored energy needed to produce the weld; and

    partitioning the total factored energy into a first part and a second part.
