3.1
Applications
3.1.1
MIG/MAG standard welding
Metal arc welding using a wire electrode whereby gas from an external source surrounds the arc and the
molten pool to protect them from the atmosphere.
3.1.1.1
forceArc
Heat-reduced, directionally stable and powerful arc with deep penetration for the higher performance
range. Non-alloyed, low-alloy and high-alloy steels and high-tensile fine-grained steels
3.1.1.2
rootArc
Short arc with perfect weld modelling capabilities for effortless gap bridging and positional welding
3.1.1.3
coldArc
Heat-reduced, low-spatter short arc for high dimensional stability welding and brazing, plus root welding
with excellent gap bridging capabilities.
3.1.1.4
pipeSolution
Reduced-energy MAG welding. X-ray-proof welding of pipelines and pipework without lack of fusion. Root
pass and fill and final pass with or without air gap. Low- and high-alloy steels with solid and cored wires.
3.1.2
MIG/MAG pulse welding
Welding process for optimum welding results when joining stainless steel and aluminium thanks to
controlled drop transfer and targeted, adapted heat input.
3.1.2.1
forceArc puls
Effective addition to the forceArc arc, perfect for welding final passes in all performance classes and all
positions.
3.1.2.2
rootArc puls
The perfect enhancement for focused heat input for the higher performance range
3.1.2.3
coldArc puls
The optimum enhancement for the higher performance range, with focused heat input exactly where the
heat is required.
3.1.3
TIG (Liftarc) welding
TIG welding process with arc ignition by means of workpiece contact.
3.1.4
MMA welding
Manual arc welding or, for short, MMA welding. It is characterised by the fact that the arc burns between
a melting electrode and the molten pool. There is no external protection; any protection against the
atmosphere comes from the electrode.
3.1.4.1
Air arc gouging
During air arc gouging, bad welding seams are heated with a carbon electrode and then removed with
compressed air. Special electrode holders and carbon electrodes are required for air arc gouging.
