The Pulse Stick Welding Process - When and Why You Should Use It

Date: 23-07-2024

In the recent decades we have witnessed the rise of highly productive welding processes like MIG/MAG, overshadowing  traditional stick welding (MMA). As a result, most welding equipment manufacturers have shifted their focus towards MIG/MAG welding, harnessing the power of cutting-edge power source technologies.

Pulsed MIG/MAG welding, with its proven track record, has become a staple in the industry. But what about stick welding?

The Evolution of Stick Welding: Enter Pulse Stick Welding (SMAW)

Stick welding, often considered a costly necessity in the engineering business, is now undergoing a transformation with the introduction of Pulse Stick Welding (SMAW).

This groundbreaking innovation is changing the game for welders, offering a new level of precision and efficiency.

Application-Specific Benefits

Pulse Stick Welding offers a range of application-specific benefits:

  • Position Welding: The lower current level helps cool the weld pool, improving controllability.
  • Fillet Welding: Users can achieve higher travel speeds or use lower average current, reducing heat input and minimizing deformation.
  • Root Welding: Producing uniform results is easier, thanks to the higher current level stirring the weld pool and reducing manual errors.
  • General Benefits: Beyond these application-specific advantages, Pulse Stick Welding offers several general benefits compared to conventional stick welding.

Advantages of Pulse Stick Welding

  • Constant Travel Speed: The pulse frequency sets the pace for welding, making it easier to maintain a consistent speed.
  • Reduced Residual Spatter: Experience less spatter for cleaner and more efficient welding.
  • Smoother Weld Surface: At a high pulse frequency, the weld surface becomes noticeably smoother.
  • Easy Slag Removal: Say goodbye to the struggles of slag removal; it's now a breeze.

Unlock Control and Precision

Pulse Stick Welding gives you the ability to control your welds with unmatched precision. Poor fit-ups are no longer a hindrance, and welding into gaps becomes effortless, yielding remarkable results.
