Fronius TransSteel 2200 - Spot and Stitch Welding Operations

Spot welding and stitch welding
General The spot and stitch welding modes are MIG/MAG welding processes.
Spot welding is used on welded joints on overlapping sheets that are only accessible on
one side.
Stitch welding is used for light-gage sheets.
As the wire electrode is not fed continuously, the weld pool can cool down during the
intervals. Local overheating leading to the parent material being melted through is largely
avoided.
