I don’t know what your fusion is like mate till I cut them up. I don’t like the push pull back and forth method either because of reason 2 above. I just push with solid wire. That’s it.So this style has more fusion than mig like tig?
Yes. It’s also very similar to open root technique too.It’s a good technique for thin sheet.

I’m not the most gifted mig welder on the planet I openly admit it. The process drives me mad (another story)
These are some of my better examples when I put my mind to it. Full spray and motor it down at a rate of knots
I don’t mate to be fair.2nd picture @Richard. - there is a little tiny line/worm run down the middle of the fillet - I sometimes get these - do you know what causes them?
was it .8 or 1mm wire used? they look greatI don’t know what your fusion is like mate till I cut them up. I don’t like the push pull back and forth method either because of reason 2 above. I just push with solid wire. That’s it.

I occasionally got similar on Aluminium and my thought was I was just nicking the surface with the shroud on the partially solidified metal. I can't recall seeing it for a while and that would kind of tie in as with the pulse mig I tend to keep the torch more straight and thus the back edge will be higher.2nd picture @Richard. - there is a little tiny line/worm run down the middle of the fillet - I sometimes get these - do you know what causes them?
Alu is notorious for it.I occasionally got similar on Aluminium and my thought was I was just nicking the surface with the shroud on the partially solidified metal.

Ahhh the centre line.Ah, maybe we are at crossed purposes here, I was meaning the line right down the centre of your weld and not the crater at the end which I think you are possibly meaning.
Ahhh the centre line.
Well if I scrub that out there will be nothing left of the weld.
Dunno what causes that I always thought it was a normal part of the spray process when you fly down at a rate.
There is an awful lot of spatter on that pic there hood.This one

I actually had it bigger but then reduced it, I already know how awful your taste is of Tig torches and welding helmets so I felt pityThere is an awful lot of spatter on that pic there hood.
Did you really need to blow it up that big.
Your making me look a right tit with a mig torch here
