In this study, the process, weld combinations, laser-CMT hybrid welding and applications of CMT welding are critically reviewed. Microstructure and other weld characteristics have been discussed at length for various base metal combinations. Particularly, the welding of aluminium and steel with better results has been possible with CMT Welding. The results reviewed in this article indicate that the CMT-Laser hybrid welding is more preferable to Laser or Laser hybrid welding. CMT welding has found applications in automobile industries, defence sectors and power plants as a method of additive manufacturing.展开更多
近年来,下向熔化极活性气体保护焊(Metal active gas,MAG)在石油化工、管道工程等工业中获得广泛应用,但是下向MAG焊中当焊接熔池体积增大时由于其所处空间位置受重力因素影响较大,易产生熔池失稳问题,影响到焊缝的良好成形。针对上述...近年来,下向熔化极活性气体保护焊(Metal active gas,MAG)在石油化工、管道工程等工业中获得广泛应用,但是下向MAG焊中当焊接熔池体积增大时由于其所处空间位置受重力因素影响较大,易产生熔池失稳问题,影响到焊缝的良好成形。针对上述问题开展下向焊熔池力学行为分析和熔池成形的控制策略研究,提出一种对下向MAG焊接熔池施加高频交变磁场,利用该磁场的电涡流效应产生电涡流力来抵消熔池液态金属重力分量的方法,达到克服重力对熔池成形的不利影响。开展熔池外加高频交变磁场熔池内部电磁场、涡流场和电涡流力的数值模拟和分析。进行45°和90°下向焊试验,对上述理论分析进行试验验证,结果表明高频交变磁场对熔池流淌具有抑制作用,采用电涡流技术用于克服下向MAG焊中的熔池失稳方案是可行的。展开更多
