Tbe U-GMA W system is dereloped, which consists of power supplies, ultrasonic vibration system and specially designed u'elding torch. The U-GMA W process and eonventional GMA W process are compared through bead-on-plate welding. The weld beads arc continuous and well protected, while the weld surface appearances by GMA W and U-GMA W are apparently diffierent. The metal transfe ,node changes from globular transfer to short-circuiting transfer after ultrasonic wave is applied onto the arc.展开更多

The spatial position between the electron beam and the filler wire was defined. Basing on the charge coupled device (CCD) visual sensing system, the metal transfer mode of filler wire was investigated. The results showed that there were five transfer modes during EBW process due to different wire feed rates and spatial positions between beam and filler wire, such as short-circuiting mode, molten metal bridge mode, small droplet mode, big droplet mode and mixed mode. By comparing the weld appearance of different transfer modes, the molten metal bridge transfer was proved to be the best transfer mode.展开更多

Welding is carried out by using the CO2 laser-MIG paraxial hybrid welding in fiat position. The experimental results indicate that the inherent droplet transfer cycle time of conventional MIG arc is changed due to the interaction between CO2 laser beam and MIG arc in the short-circuiting mode of laser-MIG hybrid welding. Because of the preheating action of CO2 laser to electrode and base material, the droplet transfer frequency of MIG arc is increased in the hybrid welding process. When laser power is increased to a certain degree, the droplet transfer frequency is decreased due to the effect of laser-induced keyhole. Furthermore, through analyzing the MIG welding current and arc voltage waveforms and the characteristics of droplet transfer in the hybrid welding process, the effect of laser energy and the action point between laser beam and arc on the frequency of droplet transfer and weld appearance is investigated in details.展开更多
