What is pulse welding?
Pulse welding is a type of metal transfer in which
a high current (peak current) and a low current Peak current
(base current) are applied at intervals to break
away a single droplet formed at the tip of the wire
by the electromagnetic pinch force generated by Base current
the pulse current.
