EFFECT / RANGE
Arc Force adjusts the short cir-
ARC FORCE
cuit current for a soft arc, or for
(Soft)-10.0 to
a forceful, driving arc. It helps
(Crisp)+10.0
to prevent sticking and shorting
of organic coated electrodes, par-
ticularity globular transfer types
such as stainless and low
hydrogen. Arc Force is espe-
cially effective for root pass on
pipe with stainless electrode
and helps to minimize spatter
for certain electrodes and pro-
cedure as with low hydrogen,
etc.
