Which is better for rust removal, pulsed or continuous?

Short answer

Both remove rust through the same selective mechanism, so it depends on the job: continuous (2 kW/3 kW) suits large-area, high-volume rust removal, while pulsed (200 W-2000 W) suits detail work, weld prep and rust removal on heat-sensitive or heritage parts.

The full answer

Both remove rust through the same selective mechanism, so the right choice depends on the job. Continuous systems at 2 kW and 3 kW suit large-area, high-volume rust removal where throughput matters most. Pulsed systems from 200 W to 2000 W suit detail work, pre-weld prep and rust removal on heat-sensitive or heritage parts, where scan-pattern and pulse control limit heat input into the substrate.
