Pulse MIG Welding

Eigen Steel offers a full manufacturing solution, with skilled and coded fabricators, together with top of the range equipment incorporating pulse-MIG technology.

Pulse MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, also known as Pulse Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW-P), is a welding process that combines the advantages of traditional MIG welding with a pulsed waveform. This technique is widely used in various industries for its ability to provide better control over the welding process and improved weld quality. Here’s an introduction to Pulse MIG welding:

Basics of MIG Welding:

MIG Welding Process: MIG welding is a process where a wire electrode is fed through a welding gun, and an inert gas (typically argon or a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide) is used to shield the weld pool from atmospheric contamination.
Continuous Wire Feed: In traditional MIG welding, a continuous wire feed is used, and the arc is maintained continuously.

Introduction to Pulse MIG Welding:

Advantages:

Reduced Heat Input: The pulsing action allows for a lower average current, reducing heat input into the workpiece. This is beneficial for welding thin materials and mitigating distortion.
Controlled Penetration: Pulse MIG welding provides better control over penetration, making it suitable for welding various thicknesses of materials.
Reduced Spatter: The pulsing can help reduce spatter, leading to a cleaner weld.
