Welding arc is struck between a fixed electrode (6), in a nozzle (7) through which shielding gas flows, and a metallic workpiece (3) to be welded by a method in which a pilot arc is formed with power from an auxiliary power source (10). An initial high-frequency arc (HFL) is formed by connection of a pulse generator (11) to the nozzle and to the workpiece, ionising the shielding gas. The pilot arc is then formed between the electrode and the workpiece and is used for initiation of the main arc by the welding power source (9). |
