Pulse welding – Mig pulsed welder

  Pulsed MIG May Solve Aluminum Fabrication Problems — Q&A Q: What’s the difference between spray transfer and pulsed spray transfer? A: Pulsed spray transfer, commonly called pulsed MIG, puts less heat into the work yet maintains many benefits of spray transfer, such as good fusion, high deposition rates and/or fast travel speeds. In pulsed spray transfer, the power source switches between a high peak current and a low background current. The peak current pinches off a spray transfer droplet and propels it toward the weldment. The background current maintains […]
