Applications
3.2.1
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.
3.2.2
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.
3.2.3
rootArc
Stable, soft, short arc even with long welding leads; ideal for simple, reliable root welding without pool
support, easy gap bridging.
3.2.4
forceArc
Welding with a powerful forced arc, deep fusion penetration and virtually spatter-free weld seams of the
highest quality.
3.2.5
TIG (Liftarc) welding
TIG welding process with arc ignition by means of workpiece contact.
3.2.6
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.
