Pulse MIG welding is an advanced technique, offering exact control over the welding process. It’s easy to see why this precision form of welding is growing in popularity. The process is cleaner and faster than traditional MIG welding, with results yielding a higher quality finish.

Ideal for thin and hard-to-weld alloys, pulse MIG welding is perfect for stainless steel, bronze, aluminium and carbon steel welding.

More satisfying for the welder, a more pleasing look for the end user, it's a great way  for fabricators to improve performance. Traditionally seen as prohibitively expensive, pulse MIG welding is coming into its own. With cost close to halved with the latest equipment like CIGWELD’s BlueVenom XF machines, the process is now within reach of smaller fabricators and major operations alike.

Time for Pulse Mig Welding to Shine

Pulse MIG welding offers the flexibility businesses need to dial up quality, performance and fabrication efficiency. Choose a single pulse current to weld metal plates 2-16mm  thick. The double pulse method, with two sets of pulses,  is good for thinner materials of 0.5-10mm thick, giving a more refined TIG-like finish.

Pulse MIG welding is becoming the standard for longer weld seams on larger scale projects, where aesthetics similar to TIG welding are critical. Pulse TIG welding – a slower, more painstaking method with higher skill level required – uses filler rods to achieve a finer result.

Pulse Mig Welding excels in four key industrial areas. 

• Marine repairs and ship building: For ships, ferries, fishing fleets, fuel tanks and other boat fittings.
• Transport industry: Such as aluminium tankers, trailers, tipper bodies, loading ramps, ute trays, toolboxes, trains, buses and bull-bars.
• Large stainless steel tanks: For wineries, breweries and food processing.
• Statement architecture: In public buildings and landmark structures.

Check your Productivity Pulse

CIGWELD’s BlueVenom XF Series machines are transforming the budget-conscious end of the market, with pulse MIG machines at accessible prices. The ESAB Pulse MIG machines offer high-end heavy industrial welding, with added benefits including WeldCloud connectivity for online monitoring and productivity-enhancing controls.

Control the Heat

Minimise average heat input. Pulse MIG welding reduces distortion and burn-through, especially on thin or delicate materials.

Weld in Different Positions

Enjoy greater control in flat, horizontal, vertical-up and overhead welds. Less burn-through, greater penetration control.

Experience a Cleaner Workplace

Pulse MIG welding greatly reduces spatter, meaning far less post-weld cleanup, but also keeps the metal in the weld, providing a more efficient deposition rate.

Extend Equipment Life

Less spatter build-up in the torch means equipment lasts longer. Lower heat levels reduce melting and replacement of copper tips and nozzles.

Reduce Welding Fume

Lower heat generated in the welding process means less harmful welding fume and a safer workplace. 

Up to Speed

In the ESAB range, select the SPEED program for faster deposition rates, to suit longer welding seams. 

Enhance the Quality

With fewer defects, greater accuracy and smoother finish, pulse MIG welding produces more aesthetically pleasing welds and a more efficient process.

Andrew Barnes, National Marketing Manager SPAC at CIGWELD - ESAB, says cleaner, faster and higher quality welds offer the user genuine value and greater productivity. “Pulse welding equipment is far more cost-effective than  it used to be. It’s more accessible to small fabricators, offers higher quality results and helps deliver a great end product. It also boosts job satisfaction, appealing to welding tradies who are looking for a consistent high-quality weld finish.”
