Technical Notes
- → 180A pulse on 6.5 mm carbon steel — the thickest material in this series, with a deep, wide pool that takes longer to solidify
- → At 25.1 V and 9.5 m/min wire feed, the pulse peak current is significantly higher than average — the short exposure captures the pool during these intense peaks without overexposure
- → Compare with the 180A short-arc recording on 3.8 mm to see how pulse transfer changes pool dynamics at the same average current
Why this recording matters
Pulse MIG at 180A on thick carbon steel is a high-deposition scenario used in heavy structural and shipbuilding. The intense arc and large pool make camera observation challenging. This recording shows that both the pool shape and the surrounding joint are visible throughout the pulse cycle.
