3.1 Applications
3.1.1
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 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.
3.1.2.1 forceArc
Welding with a powerful forced arc, deep fusion penetration and virtually spatter-free weld seams of the
highest quality.
3.1.2.2 rootArc
Stable, soft, short arc even with long welding leads; ideal for simple, reliable root welding without pool
support, easy gap bridging.
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.
