Lincoln Nextweld® Innovations for Challenging Applications

Waveform Control Technology® makes it possible to take advantage of Lincoln innovations like these patented processes using the Power MIG® 350MP power source:

Pulse-On-Pulseuses a sequence of varying pulse wave shapes to produce a TIG-like bead appearance and excellent weld properties when MIG welding aluminum. Pulse-On-Pulsecontrols arc length and heat input together, making it easier to achieve good penetration.

Pulse-On-Pulseon 3 mm Aluminum

Power Mode® uses high-speed regulation of output power to deliver extremely fast response to changes in the arc, for example, when using a whip technique. The result is improved MIG welding performance, including low spatter, very uniform, consistent bead wetting and controlled penetration. Power Mode benefits are especially apparent on low voltage applications on thin steel and stainless steel material less than 20 gauge (0.7 mm). It also delivers excellent arc characteristics on aluminum and other alloys such as silicon bronze and nickel alloys.

Synergic MIG

Synergic control of voltage and wire feed speed allows you to set weld procedures with only one control for simplicity and ease of use.

Set the wire feed speed and your voltage is automatically set. Override the setting with the voltage/trim control for personal preference.
