First Time

A numerical model is developed to simulate the short-circuiting metal transfer process during gas metal arc welding (GMAW). The energy equation and the Marangoni convection are considered for the first time in analyzing the short-circuiting time. A front-tracking free surface method explicity tracks the profile of the liquid bridge. The electromagnetic field, distribution of velocity, pressure, and temperature are calculated using the developed model. Effects of welding current, surface tension temperature coefficient, and initial drop volume on short-circuiting duration time are examined. The results show that both the electromagnetic force and Marangoni shear stress play significant roles in short-circuiting transfer welding.

The Relationship ◽  
Good Agreement

The arc length has been detected through the arc because the welding current and voltage vary linearly with the arc length. In this work, the relationship between the arc light intensity and arc length is investigated through analytic modelling. The arc light intensity is derived as a function of the arc length and welding current using the heat balance in the plasma. Experiments are carried out to verify the proposed model and to find out the effects of welding conditions on the arc light intensity in gas metal arc welding (GMAW). The arc light intensity varies proportionally to the arc length and signal quality is enhanced with a fast weaving speed. The predicted results of the arc light intensity show reasonably good agreement with the experimental data.

Peak Value

This study proposed preset pulsed magnetic field acting on process of the short circuiting transfer. It is a controlled horizontal magnetic field which attached at the very beginning of contact between the wire and the weld pool during welding. It was found that there exists optimum conditions of magnetic field with which preset pulsed magnetic field could accelerate the rupture of the liquid bridge and reduce the peak value of welding current in the period of short circuiting transfer. This lead to energy accumulation lowered at the last phase of the short circuiting transfer and spatter loss reduced resulting from explosive short circuit rupture, in the meantime, it could improve the regularity and stability of the short circuiting transfer as well as the weld shaping quality.
