Associated to the weld quality, the weld bead geometry is one of the most important parameters in welding processes. It is a significant requirement in a welding project, especially in automatic welding systems where a specific width, height, or penetration of weld bead is needed. This paper presents a novel technique for real-time measuring of the width and height of weld beads in gas metal ar...

A new generation of arc welder has recently become widely available at a price which is within reach of most amateurs and part-time mechanics, known as the MIG welder (metal-arc inert gas welder). In MIG welding the arc is ensheathed in a stream of inert gas which prevents the molten metal from oxidising. The stream of gas changes the character of the emitted radiation, and it is possible that ...

CO2 gas shielded arc welding, which is widely used in the industrial world, has been recognized as an efficient and economical GMA welding process. However, it’s characteristic repelled transfer produces a large amount of spatter results costly cleanup and, thus, practical methods to overcome this weakness have highly demanded. In study, ‘Pulsed Gas MAG’ was proposed new approach reducing spatt...

Arc plasma possesses a constriction phenomenon with a pulsed current. The constriction is created by the Lorentz force, the radial electromagnetic force during arc welding, which determines the energy distribution of the arc plasma. Welding experiments were carried out with ultra-high-frequency pulsed arc welding (UHFP-AW). Ultra-high-speed camera observations were produced for arc surveillance...

A plasma arc welding (PAW)-tungsten inert gas (TIG) hybrid welding process is proposed to weld pure nickel. In PAW-TIG welding, the arc of the PAW was first to be ignited, then TIG was ignited, while in PAW welding, only the PAW arc was launched. This paper investigated the effect of different welding processes on electrochemical and corrosion performance of between a pure nickel joint and a ba...

The combination of GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) and SMAW (Shield Metal processes on SA537 Class 2 carbon steel using variations heat input is the main choice to get best quality welded joints. This research aims joint material process with determine results mechanical properties microstructure analysis. experimental method uses a single V butt design, groove angle 60o, root face mm gap 4 as ...

An analytical procedure is developed to predict workpiece dynamics in a complete machining cycle in order to obtain frequency response functions (FRF), which are needed in chatter stability analyses. For this purpose, a structural modification method that is an efficient tool for updating FRFs is used. The mass removed by machining is considered to be a structural modification in order to deter...
