Abstract

The invention described herein generally pertains to a system and method for generating a negative polarity welding output current waveform to control a welding process. An electric arc welding system generates an electric welding waveform with portions in a negative polarity. A cycle of the electric welding waveform includes a background current phase, a short clearing ramp phase after the background current phase, a peak current phase, and a tail-out current phase of the electric welding waveform, wherein the peak current phase provides a negative peak current level, the tail-out current phase provides a monotonically increasing tail-out current level toward the positive background current level, and the short clearing ramp phase provides a decreasing current level in a positive polarity of current for the electric welding waveform.
