Abstract
An example method of controlling a short circuit welding process includes: setting a heat target for at least a portion of a short state; monitoring output parameters during the short state; calculating a measured heat from the measured output parameters; comparing the measured heat and the heat target; adjusting a pinch current in a subsequent short state in response to at least one comparing from at least one previous short state; and repeating these actions.
