What is 'arc force' 🧑‍🔧

In this article, I'd like to explain "What is 'arc force'". Let's characterize it and answer some popular questions.

So the fastest answer is…

The force of a plasma arc through a nozzle or opening.

Arc force is the result of the interaction between the welding electrode and the workpiece.

The electrode transfers energy to the workpiece, which heats up and melts.

The molten material then solidifies, forming a weld joint.

I have selected a few questions and answers to help you understand it:

Arc force

What is hot start and arc force...

Conclusion. Hot start, arc force, and anti stick are modern features of inverter stick welders. All of them help against one of the disadvantages of stick welding, which is sticking the electrode. Hot start increases the amperage when striking an arc. Arc force increases the amperage when shortening the arc length.
