In this article, a novel hybrid welding process called plasma-TIG coupled arc welding was proposed to improve the efficiency and quality of welding by utilizing the full advantage of plasma and TIG welding processes. The two arcs of plasma and TIG were pulled into each other into one coupled arc under the effect of Lorentz force and plasma flow force during welding experiments. The arc behavior of coupled arc was studied by means of it’s arc profile, arc pressure and arc force conditions. The coupled arc pressure distribution measurements were performed. The effects of welding conditions on coupled arc pressure were evaluated and the maximum coupled arc pressure was improved compared with single-plasma arc and single-TIG arc. It was found that the maximum arc pressure was mainly determined by plasma arc current and plasma gas flow. According to the results, the proposed coupled arc welding process have both advantages of plasma arc and TIG method, and it has a broad application prospect.

Speckle, which is a branch of optics that studies the interference pattern caused by the incidence of coherent light in a material’s surface, has some optical techniques and methods that can be successfully applied to determine properties of materials. In this work we used the method called THSP, Time History Speckle Pattern, in samples made of AISI 1020 carbon steel that were submitted to the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process, with the objective of identifying (qualitatively) the level of irregularity on its welded surface, by comparing these samples with a default sample, made with the same material. The technique of spekle by reflection was used for data collection. The results showed quantitative diferences between the default welded sample and the other samples, and there are good perspectives that speckle can be applied to determine the quality of the welding process, since the results showed more accuracy than visual inspection.

The development of power grid is showing that voltage level is from low to high, networking scale is from small to large, level of automation is from weak to strong.. [1] as the hub of power grid connection between substations, the capacity and automation level of substations is also improving. The large diameter and thick walled tubular busbars of substations have been widely applied. Because of the wide application of tubular aluminum busbar, its welding quality has affected the overall quality of the power plant. Therefore, it is an effective way to improve welding level of power station busbar by scientifically making technological measures and welding codes and carrying out adaptive training for welding operators. In view of the feasibility of the argon arc welding (MIG) welding process and the feasibility of training for the tubular aluminum busbar of UHV power station, the characteristics of the welding technology of tubular aluminum busbar and the technological measures taken by the welding technicians are discussed.
