acArc puls − a revolution for aluminium welding-2

EWM acArc puls XQ − perfectly clean weld seams With the AC welding process of the new Titan XQ 400 AC puls, MIG aluminium welding becomes even easier in both manual and automated sectors. Clean weld seams without residues of smoke on thin sheets, even with AlMg alloys, are possible with MIG-AC. With the acArc puls XQ proccess, the polarity switches between positive (pulse) and negative in the process, with the heat shifting from the material to the welding consumable. As such, air gaps are effectively bridged and welding fume emissions reduced. Perfect aluminium welding, even with thin sheets...
