Pulsed MIG
Varies weld current between peak (high heat) and background (low heat) current to provide
better control of heat input.
Reduces warping and burnthrough on thin materials.
Enables in-the-flat, horizontal, vertical up, or overhead welding without a slag system. It can be
used in hard automation, robotic, and semiautomatic applications.
Optimized GMAW-P waveforms are available to use on aluminum, carbon steel, high strength
low alloy steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloys.

Document NX-2.70
Pulse-On-Pulse
®
Uses a sequence of varying pulse wave shapes to produce a TIG-like bead appearance
and excellent weld properties when MIG welding aluminum.
Pulse-On-Pulse
®
controls arc length and heat input together, making it easier to achieve
good penetration.

Document NX-2.10
Power Mode
®
Uses high-speed regulation of output power to deliver extremely fast response to changes in the
arc, for example, when using a whip technique.
Improved MIG welding performance, including low spatter, very uniform, consistent bead wetting
and controlled penetration.
Great for low voltage applications on thin steel and stainless steel material less than
20 gauge (0.7 mm).
Delivers excellent arc characteristics on aluminum and other alloys such as silicon bronze and
nickel alloys.
