Abstract: Methods and apparatus to communicate via a welding arc are disclosed. An example welding-type power supply includes a power converter, a weld monitor, and an arc modulator. The power converter outputs welding power to sustain a welding-type arc at a welding-type torch. The weld monitor monitors one or more aspects of a weld performed using the welding-type arc and the welding-type torch, and selects an audio message based on the one or more aspects. The arc modulator configured to modify the welding-type arc to output the selected audio message as a plasma speaker.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for visually displaying thermal duty cycles. Remaining weld time may be determined in a welding-type apparatus based on one or more parameters that correspond to at least one of: a real-time measurement corresponding to ambient conditions, a real-time measurement corresponding to power consumption, and a thermal profile of the welding apparatus. The information relating to the indication of remaining weld time may be presented to an operator of the welding-type system. The welding-type power supply may be shut off when a shut off threshold is satisfied.
