The ARC AIR function allows perfect de-seaming with carbon electrodes of up to 10mm in diameter. Up to 6 mm diameter electrode welding is possible in MMA. In MMA welding the Hot Start and Arc Force functions are adjustable and they allow improved arc strik- ing, a flatter bead and more uniform weld. The Anti Sticking function makes it possible to detach the electrode rapidly from the workpiece in the event of accidental sticking. The parameters pre-set in the DC TIG pulsed synergic curve simplify welding by regulation exclusively of the current. The current is adjustable also from the Up-Down torch. The simply and intuitive interface allows high precision adjustments with 50 storable programs.

It is a very sta- ble arc and moves the pool with strong fluctuations. It is ideal for use in spot welding and the creation of thin fillets.

Current Full period (100%) (50%) (50%) - EXTRA FUSION ○ This feature allows for a move towards the negative side waveform with respect to zero. It is therefore possible to create a penetrating and precise weld pool, which will allow for very thin gauge sheets to be welded using an electrode tip comparable to that of an electrode for TIG DC welding -.

The reduction in the frequency value of the electric arc inversion tends to widen its size, therefore it is advisable to use low frequencies for the welding of relatively large thicknesses or for filling passes in multipass bevels. Conversely, in increasing the inversion fre- quency value, the arc size tends to decrease and therefore increases the concentration of the pool and the precision of the welding. It is therefore advisable to use high values of frequency for the welding of very thin thickness or for facings on edges of moulds - Consequences of a higher value: • Arc concentration. •...

The following figure shows graphs with waves with different AC balance values: “0” BALANCE represents the optimum ratio between “Cleanliness and Penetration” “+” BALANCE represents the curve of the current curve with an AC Balance with a positive value (cleaner); in this case the percentage of the positive wave is greater than the negative one. “-” BALANCE represents the curve of the current with a negative value AC balance (more penetration) in which it can be seen that there is a low percentage of positive wave when compared with the negative. - Consequences of a higher value: •...
