Weld Pool Oscillation as a Tool for Penetration Sensing during Pulsed GTA Welding
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with weld pool oscillation during pulsed gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding of unalloyed steel. Experiments were carried out in which the weld pool was triggered into oscillation during both the base time and the pulse time by short current peaks, superimposed on the pulsed welding current. The arc voltage was continuously measured during welding and the oscillation frequency spectrum was calculated on-line from the voltage variations by means of Fast Fourier Transform analysis, using a computer program. It was found that the obtained frequency distribution gives direct information about the penetration of the weld pool and can serve as a basis for sensing and in-process control of weld penetration.

Laser-Vision-Based Measurement and Analysis of Weld Pool Oscillation Frequency in GTAW-P
An innovative laser-vision-based sensing method is proposed to measure weld pool oscillation frequency in pulsed gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW-P). A low-power five-line laser pattern is projected onto the entire weld pool surface as well as its reflection is intercepted by an imaging plane and captured by a high-speed camera. By observing and analyzing the change of the captured laser images d...

متن کاملPerspective on Double Pulsed Gas Metal Arc Welding
Aluminum alloy welding suffers from problems such as solidification cracking and hydrogen-induced porosity, which are sufficiently severe to limit its potential applications. Because mitigated porosity incidence and solidification cracking are observed in aluminum welds using double pulsed gas metal arc welding (DP-GMAW), a comprehensive review of the mechanism is necessary, but absent from the...
