Abstract
Methods and apparatus for the electric arc welding of metal workpieces utilize a current comprised of squared waveform high-amplitude current pulse groups alternated with squared waveform low-amplitude current pulse groups, the current pulse groups being developed or developed and algorithmically varied in response to detected welding arc voltage/current condition changes and with respect to pulse group periods, pulse group peak current amplitudes, pulse group repetition frequencies, and pulse group current rise/fall rates for particular applications.

Arc welding control method

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for controlling pulse arc welding where an arc is created between a wire and a base material, a pulse waveform different from the pulse waveforms for steady-state welding is outputted when a predetermined time has passed since short-circuit welding control was started at arc start, and after a sufficiently large melt pool is formed, the Pulse waveform for the steady state welding was outputted This reduces the generation of spatters after an arc was created and until the arc is stabilized
