EWM covered electrode welding processes and functions:

• Hotstart: Prevention of melting defects at the start of the weld seam by briefly increasing the current at the start of the weld.
• Arcforce: Adjustable arc dynamics from soft to hard.
• Anti-bonding: Prevention of electrode annealing by briefly stopping the welding current.
• Cel: 100% safe downward welding with all cellulosic electrodes.
• Covered electrode pulses: Welding vertical up welds without using the “Christmas tree technique” with reliable fusion of the root base.
