Improved pulsed gas metal arc welding nets higher productivity

A pulsed gas metal arc welding (GMAW-P) technology has been improved to gain higher productivity. It was developed as as an alternative to short circuit and spray transfer modes in the shipbuilding industry. An improved GMAW- P can provide a better welding capability with increased deposition rates and decreased spatter. It has become useful for many companies, because it allows control of the heat put into a weld and eliminates excess hat that can lead to melt-through or wrapping on the materials. This technology enables new operators to start making production-quality welds in less time. It allows operators to hold a short electrode extension for better control over the weld pool. It has the ability to set all of the pulse parameters added a layer of complexity to the equipment that usually required a welding engineers to operate.
