Why is a pull type gun used for aluminum electrode wire?
Why? The column strength of aluminum wire is much lower than that of steel wire. Steel wire has enough column strength that it can be pushed through the gun liner by one set of drive rolls at the feeder.12 May 2016

What is a pull gun?
A Push-Pull gun is a pistol grip style gun with a small, second motorised wire feeder directly in the gun. A Push-Pull gun is more like a standard MIG torch than a spool gun, as the wire spool is still loaded up inside the machine and fed through the machine's rollers and into the torch lead.6 May 2021
Is it better to push or pull when MIG welding?
In MIG welding, strength of the weld is often the most crucial factor. Pushing a weld results in lower penetration, and a wider, flatter bead, that is esthetically pleasing. Conversely, pulling the weld produces a thinner, rounded bead with deeper penetration and marginally greater weld strength.20 Mar 2021
