This PulseDrive pulse program is set up for HardFacing G6 FCW (Stellite G6) class wires, 1.2 mm diameter, with M13 shielding gas. You get pulsed arc and double pulse, useful where the look of the weld face matters.
What it is for
A program is a set of synergic curves for one wire, one diameter and one gas: you set wire speed or material thickness and the machine selects voltage and arc shape. This is a surfacing program: you use it to apply a layer that protects a surface or restores its dimensions. A Stellite 6 type alloy is a cobalt-chromium alloy used on surfaces exposed to wear. M13 is argon with a small oxygen addition.

FAQ
Which machine can run this program?
Any machine on the list above. 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 1.2 mm, gas M13 (79.S1.129).
Can I use this program with a different gas?
No: the curves are made for M13. M13 is argon with a small oxygen addition. For I1 choose a separate program: PulseDrive 1.2 mm, gas I1 (79.P1.127).
