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.
3.1.2
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 MIG/MAG cored wire welding
Welding with cored wire electrodes consisting of a metal casing and a powder core.
As with MIG/MAG standard welding, the arc is protected from the atmosphere by shielding gas. The gas
is supplied either externally (gas shielded cored wires) or produced in the arc by means of the powder
core (self-shielding cored wires).
3.1.2.2 rootArc
Short arc with perfect weld modelling capabilities for effortless gap bridging and positional welding
3.1.3
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
TIG (Liftarc) welding
TIG welding process with arc ignition by means of workpiece contact.
3.1.5
Picomig polarity setting
The Picomig polarity setting displays the polarity required for the selected JOB on the machine control
(see chapter "Machine control – operating elements"). The required polarity can then be set with the
polarity selection plug.
