Downslope is a term to describe the end a weld cycle where the current is gradually decreased from full power to some lower value. It is usually a period of time usually 3-10 cycles in standard AC welding.
Downslope is shown in the next to last section of the red current line - as it gradually decreases. This period is as a slow cool to prevent quenching of materials that are subject to becoming brittle. It extends the period of heat treatment as shown here by the forging curve.
