Soft-switching Ps-pwm Dc-dc Converter for Arc Welding

Soft-switching DC-DC converter using Phase-Shifted Pulse Width Modulation (PS-PWM) on secondary side of highfrequency transformer is described in the paper. The converter consists of a full-bridge inverter fitted with fast IGBT transistors. The output power of the converter is controlled by rectifier made up of two snap-off diodes in series with MOSFET transistors which is connected on secondar...

Control of pulsed gas metal arc welding

This paper presents a control system for manual pulsed Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). This system consists of a current controller, which makes it possible to shape the current during welding, and two important components, which are the key issues discussed in this paper. These components include an arc length controller and a metal transfer controller. The arc length controller is based on a no...

Zvzcs Pwm Dc-dc Converter with Controlled Secondary Rectifier for Arc Welding

A zero-voltage, zero-current switching (ZVZCS) PWM DC-DC power converter with secondary active rectifier tested as a dc current source for arc welding is described in this paper. The soft switching DC-DC converter consists of high frequency inverter, high frequency power transformer and controlled output rectifier with new secondary energy recovery turn-off snubber. Circulating current in the c...

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...
