Pulse-on-pulse welding

Pulse-on-pulse welding technology was developed to make the MIG welding process more efficient. Pulse-on-pulse uses a sequence of varying pulse wave shapes to produce a TIG-like weld bead and controls the length of the arc and the heat input simultaneously. This process allows the operator to consistently produce welds with excellent penetration. Many TIG applications can be converted to the faster MIG process using pulse-on-pulse welding applications.

Pulse-on-pulse welding was created to provide a MIG solution for aluminum welding that made the welding process less difficult. This process controls the arc length and the heat input together, making it easier for an operator to produce welds with excellent penetration. Pulse-on-pulse welding reduces heat input for cleaner welds and less smoke. Not only does the process clean as it welds, it produces a decreased amount of spatter and enables the welding of thinner materials without burn through.

(Gas metal arc welding) pulse-on-pulse overview

Midwest Metal Fabrication uses pulse-on-pulse gas metal arc welding because it reduces heat transfer and distortion, creates less spatter, produces a cleaner and better looking weld, enables us to weld thinner materials, while increasing our welding speed.

Workpiece materials

Midwest Metal Fabrication typically uses Pulse-on-Pulse welding to join steel parts together where the weld appearance and minimum weld spatter is critical.

Workpiece thickness

We can Pulse-on-Pulse weld materials up .250 inches thick and of course, thinner metals with a minimum thickness of 16-gauge.

Other complementary services

Midwest Metal Fabrication personnel can grind welds and paint finished components with weldable primer or finish coat. We also offer assembly services, if needed. Midwest Metal Fabrication personnel can affix or stamp product identifiers onto a finished product or component.
