3.3.4 WiseSteel feature
The WiseSteel welding feature is based on modifying the conventional MIG/MAG arcs to enable higher quality of welds.
WiseSteel improves the arc control, reduces spatter and helps create an optimally-formed weld pool.
>> To take WiseSteel into use, go to AX Manager's Welding parameters view and apply the WiseSteel feature.
>> Adjust the welding power/wire feed speed while welding in the Home view.

When using WiseSteel, different adjustment methods are applied at different power ranges (different arcs). The wire
feed speed / current indicator shows the arc range: Short arc — Globular arc — Spray arc.
Short arc range:
•
WiseSteel is based on adaptive short arc control; that is, the process adjusts the short circuit ratio. This creates an
easily-adjustable arc and less spatter. Within the short arc range, the shape of the current is similar to the traditional
short arc welding. When a short arc is used in vertical up welding where weaving motion is applied, WiseSteel
ensures good quality through adapting to the changes in the stick-out length.
Globular arc range:
•
Globular arc means that WiseSteel fluctuates the power between short arc and spray arc at a low frequency, so that
the average power stays within the globular arc range. This results in less spatter than conventional globular arc
welding, and a welding pool that enables excellent structural durability.
Spray arc range:
•
Within the spray arc range, WiseSteel is based on adaptive arc length control, which keeps the arc optimally short.
WiseSteel also utilizes micro-pulsed welding current. This creates a well-formed weld pool that enables excellent
bead geometry and optimal penetration with smooth and durable joints, and speeds up the work. The pulsing is
not noticeable to the welder. The shape and control of the current are close to the conventional spray arc welding.
WiseSteel feature is available with selected welding programs. For more information on Wise products, visit

3.3.5 Pulse welding
X5 Power Source Pulse/Pulse+
The advantages of pulse welding are a higher welding speed and deposition rate compared to short-arc welding, lower
heat input compared to spray-arc welding, a spatter-free globular arc and smooth appearance of the weld. Pulse is suit-
able for all position welding. It is excellent for welding aluminum and stainless steel, especially when the material thick-
ness is small.
Pulse
Pulse is a synergic MIG/MAG welding process where the current is pulsed between the base current and the pulse cur-
rent.
>> To take Pulse welding process into use, go to the Memory channels view and select an available Pulse chan-
nel.
