Abstract
DC arc welding is performed by alternating a short-circuit period and an arc period. The arc period includes first to fourth periods. A welding current is raised to a first current value in the first period, lowered to a second current value with a time slope in the second period, kept at the second current value in the third period, and raised to a third current value then kept at the value in the fourth period. A wire feeding speed is constant throughout the short-circuit period and the arc period. In the second period, a welding output is under constant voltage control. In the third period and the fourth period, the welding output is under constant current control of the welding output.
