The Power Feed

®

10M Single Wire Feeder and Power

Wave welding power source combine to readily pro-
duce top quality aluminum welds with excellent
appearance, little spatter and good bead shape. Push-
pull guns are available for consistent feeding when
welding a long distance away from the wire feeder.

Pulse-on-Pulse Welding
The Power Wave

system offers both traditional pulse

and Pulse-on-Pulse

. Pulse-on-Pulse

(GMAW-PP) is

an exclusive waveform for aluminum welding. Use it
to make welds with a "stacked dime" appearance,
similar to GTAW welds.

FIGURE B.7c

The pulsing frequency is adjustable. Changing the fre-
quency modulation (or arc control) of the waveform
changes the ripple spacing. Faster travel speeds may
be achieved by using higher values of frequency mod-
ulation.

FIGURE B.7d

Frequency Modulation = -10

Wide weld and ripple spacing, slow travel speed.

Frequency Modulation = 10

Narrow weld and ripple spacing, fast travel speed.
