Tungsten inert gas-metal inert gas hybrid welding (TIG-MIG) combines the advantages of tungsten and metal inert gas welding. It can efficiently produce high-quality weld joints that meet modern manufacturing quality and efficiency requirements. Based on heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetic theory, a three-dimensional coupled transient model of arc-droplet interactions in TIG-MIG hybrid welding was established. In this study, the temperature field, flow field, electromagnetic force, pressure, and current density parameters were analyzed in the arc space. The results show that introducing TIG welding has a significant impact on MIG welding.

CO2 laser - Metal Inert Gas (MIG) hybrid welding process was investigated in the butt welding of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy sheets of 3.0mm in thickness. Using a Design of Experiment (DoE) approach, bead on plate tests were planned with the aim to analyze the effect of laser and laser-MIG welding parameters on the bead shape, hardness profiles in the weld cross section and welding efficiency. Butt welds performed in correspondence of the bead on plate working conditions which assure the complete penetration of the samples, the absence of undercuts and the maximum welding efficiency, confirm the results of the bead on plate tests and highlights the gap bridging ability of the hybrid welding process.

Stainless steel is a family of Fe-based alloys having excellent resistance to corrosion and as such has been used imperatively for kitchen utensils, transportation, building constructions and much more. This paper presents the work conducted on the material characterizations of a tungsten inert gas (TIG)–metal inert gas (MIG) hybrid welded joint of type 304 austenitic stainless steel. The welding processes were conducted in three phases. The phases of welding employed are MIG welding using a current of 170[Formula: see text]A, TIG welding using a current of 190[Formula: see text]A, and a hybrid TIG–MIG welding with currents of 190/170[Formula: see text]A, respectively. The MIG, TIG, and hybrid TIG–MIG weldments were characterized with incomplete penetration, full penetration and excess penetration of weld. Intergranular austenite was created toward transition and heat affected zones. The thickness of the delta ferrite ([Formula: see text]-Fe) formed in the microstructures of the TIG weld is more than the thickness emerged in the microstructures of MIG and hybrid TIG–MIG welds. A TIG–MIG hybrid weld of specimen welded at the currents of 190/170[Formula: see text]A has the highest ultimate tensile strength value and percentage elongation of 397.72[Formula: see text]MPa and 35.7%. The TIG–MIG hybrid welding can be recommended for high-tech industrial applications such as nuclear, aircraft, food processing, and automobile industry.

Surface contamination usually occurs during welding processing and it affects the welds quality largely. However, the formation of such contaminants has seldom been studied. Effort was made to study the contaminants caused by metal inert gas (MIG) welding and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding processes of aluminum alloy, respectively. SEM, FTIR and XPS analysis was carried out to investigate the microstructure as well as surface chemistry. These contaminants were found to be mainly consisting of Al 2 O 3, MgO , carbide and chromium complexes. The difference of contaminants between MIG and TIG welds was further examined. In addition, method to minimize these contaminants was proposed.

This paper simulate the mode of metal transfer in MIG magnetic control welding by using CFD software FLUENT, establishing mathematical model based on fluid dynamics and electromagnetic theory, and simulate the form, grow and drop process of metal transfer with and without magnetic. Meanwhile, do experiments to confirm the simulate result, and it is well consistent with the experimental result.
