This PulseDrive pulse program is set up for HardFacing CrNi FCW (StainCarb W-0) class wires, 1.6 mm diameter, without shielding gas. It provides pulsed arc and double pulse, which means less spatter and better pool control. It is part of the Universal ARC line, programs for a wire class rather than one brand.
What it is for
A program is a set of synergic curves for one wire and one diameter: you set wire speed or material thickness and the machine selects voltage and arc shape. The program is for surfacing, that is applying layers with properties different from the base metal. A self-shielded wire needs no gas cylinder, which helps outdoors and in windy conditions.

FAQ
Which machine can run this program?
Any machine on the list above. TERRA NX 320/400 SMC SteelDrive and TERRA NX 400/500 MSE are not listed for PulseDrive in the selection guide. You buy the program for one specific machine: give its model and serial number with your order. Installation (service visit or manufacturer update) is agreed after the order.
How does PulseDrive differ from ArcDrive?
ArcDrive means short and spray arc without pulse. PulseDrive gives pulsed arc and double pulse: less spatter and easier pool control. ArcDrive for this set-up: ArcDrive 1.6 mm, no gas (79.S1.133).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the HardFacing CrNi FCW (StainCarb W-0) class, which you can check on the spool label. If your wire is unusual, contact us before ordering.
