Abstract
In accordance with an AC pulse arc welding method, a periodic welding current is applied, that includes, for a pulse cycle, negative current in electrode negative polarity and positive current in electrode positive polarity. Then, a negative current rate is set by a negative current rate setting value, where the negative current rate represents the ratio of the negative current to the welding current for the pulse cycle. Then, a feeding speed of welding wire as a consumable electrode is set by a feeding speed setting value. The method further includes: setting an average of the welding current by a welding current setting value; and performing automatic calculation of the feeding speed setting value by using a predetermined conversion function based on input of the welding current setting value and the negative current rate setting value.
