Welding packages, welding characteristics and
welding processes
General Various welding packages, welding characteristics and welding processes are available
with TPSi power sources that enable a wide range of materials to be effectively welded.
Welding charac-
teristics
Depending on the welding process and shielding gas mix, various process-optimised weld-
ing characteristics are available when selecting the filler metal.
Examples of welding characteristics:
- MIG/MAG 3700 PMC Steel 1,0mm M21 - arc blow *
- MIG/MAG 3450 PMC Steel 1,0mm M21 - dynamic *
- MIG/MAG 3044 Pulse AlMg5 1.2 mm I1 - universal *
- MIG/MAG 2684 Standard Steel 0.9 mm M22 - root *
The additional designation (*) next to the welding process provides information about the
special properties and use of the welding characteristic.
The description of the characteristics is set out as follows:
Designation
Welding process
Properties
arc blow
PMC
Characteristic with improved arc break properties by deflecting the external magnetic fields
braze
CMT, LSC, PMC
Characteristics for brazing processes (high brazing speed, reliable wetting and good flow
of braze material)
braze+
CMT
Optimised characteristics for brazing processes with special "Braze+" gas nozzle (narrow
gas nozzle opening, high shielding gas flow rate)
cladding
CMT, LSC, PMC
Characteristic for cladding with low penetration, low dilution and wide weld seam flow for
improved wetting
dynamic
CMT, PMC, Pulse, Standard
Characteristics for high welding speeds with concentrated arc
flanged edge
CMT
Characteristics for flange welds with frequency and energy yield adjustments;
the edge is fully covered with the weld seam but not melted down
galvanized
CMT, LSC, PMC, Pulse, Standard
Characteristics for galvanised sheet surfaces (low zinc pore risk, reduced zinc melting
loss)
