Abstract

A method and apparatus can adaptively control a pulsed power arc welding process. A trainable system can recognize an empirical transfer mode from a signal emitted during an arc welding pulse and determine a pulsed power parameter set to produce a modified transfer mode in a subsequent pulse, by controlling a power source using the parameter set.
