Stick Welding Can Benefit from Pulsed Welding Current
4 August 2021
With considerably more productive welding processes such as MIG/MAG taking over the welding industry, the role of stick welding (MMA) has become smaller in recent decades. This is why the majority of welding equipment manufacturers have focused their most significant efforts on MIG/MAG welding rather than stick welding, and introduced new features made possible by new power source technologies.
