Good Agreement

The arc length has been detected through the arc because the welding current and voltage vary linearly with the arc length. In this work, the relationship between the arc light intensity and arc length is investigated through analytic modelling. The arc light intensity is derived as a function of the arc length and welding current using the heat balance in the plasma. Experiments are carried out to verify the proposed model and to find out the effects of welding conditions on the arc light intensity in gas metal arc welding (GMAW). The arc light intensity varies proportionally to the arc length and signal quality is enhanced with a fast weaving speed. The predicted results of the arc light intensity show reasonably good agreement with the experimental data.

Welding Processes

One of the challenges for development, qualification and optimisation of arc welding processes lies in characterising the complex melt-pool behaviour which exhibits highly non-linear responses to variations of process parameters. The present work presents a computational model to describe the melt-pool behaviour in root-pass gas metal arc welding (GMAW). Three-dimensional numerical simulations have been performed using an enhanced physics-based computational model to unravel the effect of groove shape on complex unsteady heat and fluid flow in GMAW. The influence of surface deformations on the magnitude and distribution of the heat input and the forces applied to the molten material were taken into account. Utilising this model, the complex thermal and fluid flow fields in melt pools were visualised and described for different groove shapes. Additionally, experiments were performed to validate the numerical predictions and the robustness of the present computational model is demonstrated. The model can be used to explore the physical effects of governing fluid flow and melt-pool stability during gas metal arc root welding.
