To resolve the problem of grain coarsening occurring in the fusion zone and the heat-affected zone during conventional gas tungsten arc welding(C-GTAW) welded titanium alloy, which severely restricts the improvement of weld mechanical properties, welding experiments on Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy by adopting ultra-high frequency pulse gas tungsten arc welding (UHFP-GTAW) technique were carried out to study arc characteristics and weld bead microstructure. Combined with image processing technique, arc shapes during welding process were observed by high-speed camera. Meanwhile the average arc pressure under various welding parameters were obtained by adopting pressure measuring equipment with high-precision. In addition, the metallographic samples of the weld cross section were prepared for observing weld bead geometry and microstructure of the fusion zone. The experimental results show that, compared with C-GTAW, UHFP-GTAW process provides larger arc energy density and higher proportion of arc core region to the whole arc area. Moreover, UHFP-GTAW process has the obviously effect on grain refinement, which can decrease the grain size of the fusion zone. The results also revealed that a significant increase of arc pressure while increasing pulse frequency of UHFP-GTAW, which could improve the depth-to-width ratio of weld beads.

A rule-based control system of weld bead width is established for realizing in-process control of pulsed gas tungsten arc welding. The system consists of a microprocessor-controlled power supply and working table, a solid state television camera, a high-speed analogue-to-digital converter and an image processing and control computer. Considering the characteristic of arc light and its influence on vision sensing, special measures were taken for image capturing, processing and weld bead width extraction. The rule-based model was combined with the principle of PID (proportional integral derivative) control, and a parameter-changing PID controller was designed. The bead-on-plate welding experiments were carried out. The results show that the system is of good adaptablity for in-process control of weld bead width in pulsed gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).

This paper presents calculation of the welding process parameters for obtaining optimal weld bead geometry in Flux Cored arc welding (FCAW) process. Bead on plate welding was carried as per L16 orthogonal array. In this paper weld bead geometry such as penetration, bead width, reinforcement and percentage of dilution of IS 2062 structural steel plates investigated. Two hybrid techniques firstly Taguchi method coupled with Grey relational analysis and secondly Taguchi method in combination with desirability function (DF) approach has been applied in this paper. Comparison made between two hybrid optimization techniques are made to analyze to choose the best method. Optimal results have been confirmed by confirmatory experiment which showed satisfactory results.
