The characteristics of weld bead formation and droplet transfer in pulsed gas metal arc weld (GMAW) with different arc lengths were studied by changing the base current time in this work. The results showed that it was easier to cause short circuits and spatters with a short arc. However, the deviation between the deepest point of penetration and the center of bead will be aggravated with the increase of arc length. In addition, more than 90% “one drop per pulse” (ODPP) transfer mode can be obtained when the pulse parameters were selected properly. However, the short arc trended to rise the proportion of “multiple drops per pulse” (MDPP), and the long arc trended towards increasing the proportion of “one drop per multiple pulses” (ODMP). Additionally, with the growth of the arc in the projected transfer zone, the penetration tended to become shallower because of the increase of arc heat dissipation, the fall of arc energy density, and droplet impact force. Overall, the strategy of choosing suitable arc length of pulsed GMAW was summarized: in order to obtain high-quality bead formation and weld joints, a shorter arc in the projected transfer zone was recommended.

Aluminum alloy has been widely used due to its excellent workability, and double-pulse metal inert gas welding (MIG) has become a popular technique in aluminum alloy welding. In this study, a cross-complementary test was performed to study the effect of double-pulse characteristics on weld bead formation and mechanical properties in MIG welding. The test was carried out on an AA6061 aluminum alloy using flat overlaying welding. After welding, the micro-metallographic structure and macro-mechanical performance of the weld bead were explored. The test results showed that the two methods of increasing the base current amplitude or the low-frequency of the current effectively enhanced the oscillation of the molten pool, refined the grain size of the fusion zone, and improved the mechanical properties of the weld. Additionally, by comparing the macroscopic photograph of the specimen and the corresponding welding parameters in the test, the formation characteristics of the bead’s fish-scale pattern in double-pulse MIG welding were found when appropriate welding parameters were adopted and weld bead formation was good. This test result provides a strong scientific basis for the selection of welding parameters in the actual promotion and application of double-pulse MIG welding.

Abstract Derivative welding processes are in many cases capable of altering phenomena that determine fundamental aspects of weld bead formation. Some of these evolutions act over the wire feed dynamics. However, in this scenario, the effects of the wire feed pulsation on the weld bead formation governing factors have not been fully explored yet. Therefore, this work aimed at examining how a wire feed pulsation approach affects the droplet transfer in gas metal arc welding and how its interaction with the molten pool defines the weld bead penetration. Bead-on-plate weldments were produced by varying the wire feed pulsation frequency, yet keeping the same levels of arc energy and wire feed speed, with the power source operating in constant voltage and current modes. To assess the droplet transfer behavior, high-speed imaging was used. The geometry of the weld beads was compared in terms of fusion penetration. The results showed that an increase in the wire feed pulsation frequency intensifies the detachment frequency of the droplets, being possible to accomplish a stable metal transfer with them straightly projected toward the weld pool, which contributed to a centralized-increased penetration profile. Based on a descriptive model, it was demonstrated that the increase in droplet momentum or kinetic energy, due to the wire feed pulsation, was not enough to justify the penetration enhancement. It was concluded that the wire feed dynamics can also stimulate surface tension variations in the weld pool and therefore disrupt the behavior of its mass and heat convection, supporting fusion penetration.
