PERFORMANCE

What Is It?

Diamond Core Technology™is a patented innovative choke design that filters the welding arc. It provides dynamic arc filtering across the entire welding amp rage. Other arc stabilization methods are “fixed” –

Results:

• Great starts and low spatter.

• A wide sweet spot for optimal arc performance.

Great For:

• Steel, stainless and aluminum.

• Out-of-position work.

• Long arc applications.

• Weaving techniques. or only working at certain amperages – resulting in harsh arc characteristic changes over the welding range.
