Modeling and Control of Keyhole Arc Welding Process

چکیده
This paper addresses the development of an adaptive control system for keyhole arc welding process. The system developed adjusts the amperage of the peak current to achieve the desired peak current period under varying manufacturing conditions. A nominal model is selected from models identified using experimental data and is used as the a prior model of the controlled process. A predictive control algorithm has been designed for the nominal model structure. Closed-loop control experiments have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the developed system under varying set-point and varying travel speed. Copyright © 2002 IFAC

Modeling and control of quasi-keyhole arc welding process
Quasi-keyhole is a novel approach proposed to operate the keyhole arc welding process. Because the method’s effectiveness depends on the amperage of the peak current used to establish the keyhole, this paper proposes adjusting the amperage based on the duration of the peak current, which equals the keyhole establishment time. A nominal model structure has been selected from those identified usi...
متن کاملObservation of the Keyhole during Plasma Arc Welding
Keyhole plasma arc welding is a unique arc welding process for deep penetration. To ensure the quality of the welds, the presence of the keyhole is critical. Understanding of the keyhole will certainly benefit the improvement of the process and weld quality. Currently, the size of the keyhole is assumed to be correlative with the robustness of the keyhole process in maintaining the keyhole. To ...
متن کاملNonlinear interval model control of quasi-keyhole arc welding process
This paper addresses the development of a nonlinear model based interval model control system for the quasi-keyhole arc welding process, a novel arc welding process which has advantages over the laser welding process and conventional arc welding processes. The structure of the nonlinear model chosen was proposed based on an analysis of the quasi-keyhole process to be controlled. Because of the ...
متن کاملKeyhole Double-sided Arc Welding Process for Deep Narrow Penetration
In regular arc welding, the arc heat is transferred from the surface of the workpiece to melt it. In keyhole plasma arc welding, the workpiece is melted by the plasma jet which heats the wall of the keyhole along the thickness direction. Penetration is achieved with reduced heat input. However, the plasma jet only gains its energy in the arc before reaching the keyhole. In the keyhole where no ...
متن کاملStochastic modelling of plasma reflection during keyhole arc welding
Keyhole arc welding (KAW), including the keyhole double-sided arc welding process being developed at the University of Kentucky and keyhole plasma arc welding, can achieve much deeper narrower penetration than all other arc welding processes. If it could be controlled such that the heat input and weld pool are minimized while at the same time the desired full penetration is guaranteed, it could...
