A successful solution is dependent not only on choosing the right filler material, but also on the electric power and gas supply of correct quality and sufficient quantity but also that the equipment used is the right one for the job. The overview on power/gas supply, equipment and processes show these relations.

All processes except coated electrodes and self-shielding flux cored wire.
