Pulsed Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW-P) applies waveform control logic to produce a     

very precise control of the arc through a broad wire feed speed range. With precise control
of arc dynamics, GMAW-P can be used as a fast-follow process at high travel speeds, or it
.can be run as a high deposition rate, fast-fill process
The pulse metal transfer allows a spray arc in procedure ranges that would normally be    
either globular or short circuiting transfer. Because the arc is very stable and has lower heat
input than spray transfer, it allows out-of-position welding. Major benefits of the process
include: better arc characteristics, greatly reduced spatter and fume generation, less
incomplete fusion than short circuiting transfer and lower heat input than spray transfer at a
.given wire feed speed
The pulsing transfers small droplets directly through the arc, one droplet during each     
pulse. As the wire is advanced, the current pulses and transfers the next droplet. This kind of
metal transfer requires either pure argon or high argon blends for shielding, and is
.somewhat more sensitive to surface contaminants than nonpulsed GMAW
