PULSE WAVE SHAPING PRINCIPLES | Appendix A |
A.2 GMAW PULSE OVERVIEW
Figure A-1 illustrates the variables of the GMAW-P welding process. Each of these variables can be programmed into a weld table using the Wave Designer software. Figure A-2 shows how the pulse waveform and the primary variables shape, detach and propel a weld droplet across the arc.
For more details on each of these variables, refer to Primary Pulse Waveform Components and Secondary Pulse Waveform Components in paragraphs A.5 and A.6 of this appendix.
