Based on ultrasonic frequency pulse tungsten inert-gas (TIG) welding for 0Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel, the influence of pulse level parameters was investigated on the field of arc characteristic and arc force. The experimental results show that the pulse level parameters could have huge impact to arc characteristic and arc force. With the increased frequency of pulse level, arc plasma has a more obvious pinch effect, which causes the enhance of arc voltage. Similarly, the arc force can be improved obviously compared with that during conventional direct current (DC) TIG welding. By contrast, the sensitivity of welding characteristic to pulse current level frequency would reduce while the duty of pulse peak current increased.

Abstract Experiments have been conducted to investigate the influence of the cusp external magnetic field (EMF) on deposition rate of two-electrode tungsten insert gas (T-TIG) welding. T-TIG arc parameters such as arc shape, arc voltage, arc pressure and arc plasma information were acquired respectively. Results showed compared to TIG, a higher welding current could be allowed for T-TIG, due to its low arc pressure characteristic. Under the effect of the cusp EMF, the arc shape was compressed along x-axis of T-TIG, while elongated along y-axis of T-TIG. Besides, the peak arc pressure of T-TIG was not significantly increased by the cusp EMF. Moreover, with the action of the cusp EMF, the maximum values of the electron temperature (Te) and electron density (Ne) of T-TIG were not significantly increased, but along y-axis, the increments of the two parameters were gradually increased and their distributions were widened. Therefore, more arc energy was allocated on y-axis of T-TIG by the cusp EMF, which could improve the preheating and the melting of the filler wire along y-axis, so the deposition rate of T-TIG could be increased by 17.6% under the effect of the cusp EMF.

Ultrasonic energy is introduced into the Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding arc and weld pool by superposition of an ultrasonic frequency current. In this study, the arc shape, arc energy, and ultrasonic energy that responded to ultrasonic excitation voltage and frequency is investigated. The comprehensive influence of arc and ultrasonic energy on weld formation, microstructure, and mechanical properties is further studied. The arc and ultrasonic energy are analyzed by using a high-speed camera and microphone, respectively. The results showed that the arc width increased, and the arc energy density decreased after the superposition of ultrasonic current. The arc height could be compressed under certain ultrasonic excitation parameters. The ultrasonic excitation voltage and frequency had a direct influence on the ultrasonic energy. The arc height, arc energy density, and ultrasonic energy together determined the weld width. Ultrasound could effectively refine the microstructure of the weld zone and fusion zone but had little effect on the heat-affected zone. Ultrasound improved the hardness of the joint by refining the grain and the second phase. The joint hardness was the highest when the ultrasonic excitation voltage was 100 V, and the frequency was 30 kHz.
