3.1

Applications

3.1.1

MIG/MAG standard welding

Metal arc welding using a wire electrode whereby gas from an external source surrounds the arc and the
molten pool to protect them from the atmosphere.
3.1.1.1

forceArc

Heat-reduced, directionally stable and powerful arc with deep penetration for the higher performance
range. Non-alloyed, low-alloy and high-alloy steels and high-tensile fine-grained steels
3.1.1.2

rootArc

Short arc with perfect weld modelling capabilities for effortless gap bridging and positional welding
3.1.2

MIG/MAG pulse welding

Welding process for optimum welding results when joining stainless steel and aluminium thanks to
controlled drop transfer and targeted, adapted heat input.
3.1.2.1

forceArc puls

Effective addition to the forceArc arc, perfect for welding final passes in all performance classes and all
positions.
3.1.2.2

rootArc puls

The perfect enhancement for focused heat input for the higher performance range
3.1.3

TIG (Liftarc) welding

TIG welding process with arc ignition by means of workpiece contact.
3.1.4

MMA welding

Manual arc welding or, for short, MMA welding. It is characterised by the fact that the arc burns between
a melting electrode and the molten pool. There is no external protection; any protection against the
atmosphere comes from the electrode.
3.1.4.1

Air arc gouging

During air arc gouging, bad welding seams are heated with a carbon electrode and then removed with
compressed air. Special electrode holders and carbon electrodes are required for air arc gouging.
