Abstract
A pair of workpieces are welded together by passing between them an arc which is guided by a magnetic field to rotate on the workpieces. Immediately after striking of the arc the field strength of the magnetic field is relatively great and a relatively great current is similarly passed through the arc. During a subsequent main phase, before fusing of the surfaces to be welded, the field strength and the current of the arc are reduced to a fraction of their values for even heating of the surfaces to be welded together. Finally during a terminal phase the current of the arc and the field strength are again raised to a higher level to completely fuse the two surfaces which can then be welded together once the arc is interrupted.
