Number of times the WELD TIME will
repeat with PULSATION COOL cycles
between the WELD pulses. The example
in section D2.4 3 PULSES of 2 WELD
CYCLES each.
Increasing heat starting at the Start
UPSLOPE% and finishing at the WELD
HEAT% over the UPSLOPE TIME.
Decrease heat starting at the WELD
HEAT% and finishing at the
DOWNSLOPE at END% over the
DOWNSLOPE TIME.
Fixed heat of POSTHEAT% over
POSTHEAT TIME.
QUENCH = non-heat time before
TEMPER sequence.
Fixed heat of TEMPER HEAT% over
TEMPER TIME.

PULSATION is handy to use when welding thick metal (.120” or thicker).
Divide the number of weld cycles found on a welding chart for this
thickness by 5 and Set PULSATION COOL = 3.
PULSATION can also be useful for welding very near the edge of a
sheet. If set properly it will minimize metal expulsion from the edge.
or when welding near the edge of a sheet.

QUENCH & TEMPER sequence is useful for welding spring steel or
other higher-carbon metals. The QUENCH TIME lets the nugget
area cool down, and the TEMPER TIME reheats the nugget to a
lower temperature to increase ductility of the weld nugget and area
around the weld nugget.
