Comments
TIG process with HF ignition
TIG process with LIFT ignition
Time to purge the torch and to protect the area with gas before ignition
Up slope current
Welding current
Second welding current or «cold» current in standard 4TLOG or in PULSE
mode
PULSATION frequency of the PULSE mode (Hz)
Down slope current to minimum current, I Stop (S) to prevent weld defects
and craters.
Duration for which gas is released after the arc has stopped. It protects the
weld pool and the electrode against oxidization when the metal is cooling (S).
Adjustable overcurrent at the beginning of the welding (%)
Overcurrent delivered to avoid sticking when the electrode enters the welding
pool
