Abstract
The invention described herein generally pertains to a system and method related to reducing magnetic arc blow during a welding operation performed by a welding system. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a welding system including a waveform generator generates a waveform that is switched from a positive current to a negative current, while passing through zero, in a step-wise fashion to resist the magnetic field within the material (e.g., the workpiece). In accordance of another embodiment of the invention, the welding system includes a nickel flux cord welding wire.
