Arc welding Control for Shaped Metal Deposition Process

This paper is focused on the study and the control of a deposition process of robotic arc welding. The process consists of a SMD (Shaped Metal Deposition) system, that is a novel rapid prototyping tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding technique leading to near-net-shape, using a layer by layer deposition technique. An experimental setup has been properly implemented in order to study the system and ...

Critical Analysis of Moving Heat Source Shape for Arc Welding Process of High Deposition Rate

Original scientific paper Analysis of heat source shape is important for comprehending Submerged Arc Welding Process. Here an attempt is made to investigate into the analytical solution of the thermal field related to a high deposition rate based process like SAW. It is assumed that a moving heat source follows Gaussian distribution. The realistic assumptions of the shape parameters are made to...

Application of the Extreme Learning Machine for Modeling the Bead Geometry in Gas Metal Arc Welding Process

Rapid prototyping (RP) methods are used for production easily and quickly of a scale model of a physical part or assembly. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a widespread process used for rapid prototyping of metallic parts. In this process, in order to obtain a desired welding geometry, it is very important to predict the weld bead geometry based on the input process parameters, which are voltage...

Gas tungsten arc welding

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A const...
