What Is It?
Diamond Core Technology
™
is a patented innovative
choke design that filters the welding arc. It provides
dynamic optimized arc filtering across the entire
welding range of amperages. Other arc stabilization
methods are “fixed” – or only working at certain
amperages – resulting in harsh arc characteristic
changes over the welding range.
Results:
• Great starts and low spatter.
• Outstanding performance on
a wide variety of materials –
steel, stainless and aluminum.
• A wide sweet spot for optimal
arc performance.
Great For:
• Steel, stainless and aluminum.
• Out-of-position work.
• Long arc applications.
• Weaving techniques.
