Set Up

Based on the coupling of laser beam and double arcs, a novel process was investigated. This research set up the laser-double wire pulsed MIG hybrid welding system. Meanwhile the current and voltage sensors were used to detect welding current and arc voltage wave-form and high-speed videography system was used to observe the metal transfer process and arc behavior. The three signals were acquired synchronously. The results showed that the synergic action of the three different heat sources leads to a change in metal transfer mode. It was revealed that the metal transfer mode was two droplets per pulse in laser-double wire hybrid welding process while one droplet per pulse in double wire welding process with the same certain experiment parameters. And we also discovered that the arcs were attracted strongly by the laser beam.

A lumped parameter dynamical model is developed to describe the metal transfer for gas metal arc welding (GMAW) in the globular mode. The oscillations of molten drop are modeled using a mass-spring-damper system with variable mass and spring coefficient. An analytical solution is developed for the variable coefficient system to better understand the effect of various model parameters on the drop oscillations. The effect of welding drop motion on the observed current and voltage signals is investigated and the model agrees well with the experimental results. Furthermore, the effect of wire feeding rate (or welding current) on the metal transfer cycle time is studied and the model successfully estimates the cycle times for different wire feeding rates.

Welding Inverter

With high-speed welding inverter and precisely controlling the welding current with arc-bridge state, advanced pulse current waveforms can be produced to optimize the transfer characteristics of short circuiting transfer welding. In this paper, the images of droplet/wire, and the transient data of welding current and arc voltage were simultaneously recorded to study the influence of peak arcing current, background arcing current and tail-out time on the stability of short circuiting transfer process. It was found that maximum short circuiting transfer stability is reached under specific welding conditions. Any deviation from these conditions will cause abnormal rises in arc voltage indicating instantaneous arc extinguishing and greater spatter. Optimal welding conditions were obtained to achieve the maximum stability of short circuiting metal transfer process.

In this work, effects of major welding parameters, such as laser power, defocus distance of laser beam, inter-heat sources distance and welding speed, on weld geometry were investigated for pulsed Nd:YAG laser/GTAW hybrid welding of 304 stainless steel. Heat transfer efficiency of pulsed Nd:YAG laser/GTAW hybrid welding process was quantitativly analyzed based on rosenthal equation. Furthermore, melting efficiency was determined from the measured welding seams cross section area.

The effects of arc modes on laser-arc hybrid welding for AA6082-T6 aluminum alloy were comparatively studied. Two arc modes were employed: pulsed metal inert gas arc and cold metal transfer arc. The results indicated that joints without porosity, undercutting, or other defects were obtained with both laser-pulsed metal inert gas hybrid welding (LPMHW) and laser-cold metal transfer hybrid welding (LCHW). Spatter was reduced, and even disappeared, during the LCHW process. The sizes of equiaxed dendrites and the width of the partially melted zone in the LPMHW joint were larger than those in the LCHW joint. The microhardness in each zone of the LPMHW joint was lower than that of the LCHW joint. The softening region in the heat-affected zone of the LPMHW joint was wider than that of the LCHW joint. The tensile strength of the LCHW joint was higher than that of the LPMHW joint. For the two joints, the fractures all occurred in the softening region in the heat-affected zone, and the fracture morphologies showed ductile fracture features. The dimples in the fractograph of the LCHW joint were deeper than those of the LPMHW joint.

The metal transfer behaviors of basic flux cored wire at different arc voltage and welding current and the resultant welding spatter were investigated by using a high speed camera. Two modes of metal transfer are found: globular repelled transfer (lower welding parameters) and small droplet transfer (higher welding parameters). The former is accompanied by large granular spatter, large droplet itself explosion spatter and electric explosive spatter of short-circuit, and spatter in the latter is reduced obviously. But if the slag column is found in the two models, spatter could be dropped evidently owing to its significant guiding role for metal transfer. Therefore the slag column is the key factor of reducing welding spatter.
