Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and apparatus for welding include initiating a pulse welding process includes initiating a welding arc by providing CC type welding power, maintaining the arc by providing CV type power. Then, pulse type welding power is provided. The method and system can be used to start short circuit, or other welding processes by providing short circuit power, or welding power of a given mode, instead of providing pulse power. Also, in one alternative, a method and system of initiating a pulse, short circuit, or given welding process includes initiating a welding arc by providing CC type welding power at least until a pseudo-equilibrium for the arc is established. Then, providing welding power in a pulse, short circuit, or the given mode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1. A method of repeatedly starting a pulse welding process for aluminum wire, wherein the wire passes through a contact tip, comprising: starting the process, establishing a pseudo-equilibrium arc with aluminum wire, and repeating at least 70,000 times without changing the contact tip.
