Inductance is a welding parameter on newer MIG welders that many welders are not familiar with. In this video we are going to talk about what it is and how inductance effects your weld puddle.
We almost finished out welding parameters series last week with the explanation of wire feed speed. However, we had multiple emails asking us about what inductance is and if we could explain how if affects the weld, so that is what we're going to do.
So what is inductance you ask? Here is how Google defines it: In electromagnetism and electronics, inductance is the property of an electrical conductor by which a change in current through it induces an electromotive force in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors by mutual inductance.
Unfortunately, for most of us, that tells us little to nothing about what it does in the weld puddle. In this video we are going to give a definition for inductance that every welder will appreciate. You will see exactly what the inductance settings does as we make three welds using difference settings and showing the cut and etched welds at the end.
