Abstract
Analysis of the field of application of pulsed metal arc welding of different materials is presented, and peculiarities, trends and prospects of this welding process development are considered. It is shown that this method of welding is characterized by certain technological advantages in comparison with other methods of gas-shielded metal-electrode welding and is actively used in state-of-the-art high-productivity technologies.
Keywords: pulsed arc welding, metal electrode, shielding gases, aluminium alloys, carbon steels, alloyed steels, combined technologies
