What is pulsed MIG welding, and for what you can use it?
26 February 2024
Pulsed MIG/MAG welding is a significant improvement in welding technology, offering accuracy, productivity, and flexibility that conventional welding methods can hardly compete with. This advanced process has become popular for professionals looking to improve weld quality, especially in demanding applications. Here's a closer look at how pulsed MIG/MAG welding works and the situations where it truly shines.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.
