CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) uses a pulsed current to precisely control the transfer of droplets from the electrode to the weld joint. It is used for welding thin materials or joining dissimilar metals where heat control is crucial to prevent warping or distortion. The CMT  produces high-quality welds with minimal spatter, reduced heat input, and less distortion compared to traditional welding methods. It’s particularly effective for welding aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.
