The influence of welding arc regime on the fumes formation is studied by numerical modeling via description separate processes inside space charge regions near electrodes in with consumable electrode. comprises calculation temperature profiles for electrons and heavy component, distribution gas components’ number densities, particles’ mean free pathes, electric potential field, heat transfer fr...

Inert-gas Arc Welding of Aluminium Aluminium is used widely in metal fabrication processes, chiefly on account of its lightness, the ease with which it may be cast, and its extreme ductility. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, owing to the formation of a protective film of oxide on the surface of the metal. This latter property, however, becomes a disadvantage when it is desired to weld ...

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, also called as gas tungsten welding 1. (a) Schematic of TIG welding Process (b) Variety of tungsten electrodes. The activated TIG (ATIG) welding process mainly focuses on increasing the depth of penetration and the reduction in the width of weld bead has not been paid. Tungsten inert gas welding, TIG is widely applied in manufacturing process for different The ...

The arcs associated with arc welding emit high levels of ultraviolet radiation (UVR), and this often causes acute injuries in the workplace, particularly photokeratoconjunctivitis. It is important to know the level of UVR emitted by arc welding under various conditions, as this information will help in evaluating potential UVR hazards in welding workplaces and taking protective measures against...

In this study, the effect of various welding parameters on the weldability of Mild Steel specimens having dimensions 50mm× 40mm× 6 mm welded by metal arc welding were investigated. The welding current, arc voltage, welding speed, heat input rate are chosen as welding parameters. The depth of penetrations were measured for each specimen after the welding operation on closed butt joint and the ef...

This paper develops an automatic welding control scheme for alternating current shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) system. A mathematical model of the welding control system is derived and the system parameters identified. An adaptive sliding mode controller is designed to estimate the bound of the system uncertainties and to modulate the electrode feed rate in such a way that the desired arc le...

Arc sensors have been used in seam tracking and widely studied since the 80s and commercial arc sensing products for T and V shaped grooves have been developed. However, it is difficult to use these arc sensors in narrow gap welding because the arc stability and sensing accuracy are not satisfactory. Pulse gas melting arc welding (P-GMAW) has been successfully applied in narrow gap welding and ...

Process This chapter presents the principle of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process besides important components of TIG welding system and their role. This process is also known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. Further, fundamentals of heat generation, arc stability and arc efficiency have also been described. Additionally, comparison of argon and helium as shielded gases has bee...

This work provides a critical assessment of electric effects on the microstructure evolution at heat-affected zone in arc welding. Electric are interactions between electromagnetic fields and materials’ microstructures. They differ from effect Joule heating by providing an alternative contribution to nucleation, grain growth, recrystallisation tempering. The influence size, defects, anisotropic...

In order to establish titanium welding technology TIG arc weldability and MIG arc weldability were surveyed. For TIG arc weldability influence of arc length and thickness to proper region of welding condition became obvious. For MIG arc weldability a new method to defend wandering phenomenon was developed.
