The hot-wire gas metal arc welding (HW-GMAW) process is widely used to increase the melting rate of a secondary wire through Joule heating without significantly increasing the total heat input to the substrate. Because there is limit-ed knowledge regarding the associated arc dynamics and its influence on bead geometry, the present study considers how these are affected by the hot-wire polarity (negative or positive), hot-wire feed rate, and hot-wire orientation using a two-factor full factorial experiment with three replicates. During welding, high-speed imaging synchronized with current and voltage acquisition to study the arc dynamics. After this, each replicated weld was cut into three cross sections, which were examined by standard metallography. The preliminary results suggest that the arc was stable within the range of process parameters studied. The arc polarity played a role on arc position relative to the hot wire, with a decrease in penetration depth observed when the arc was attracted to the hot wire.

Abstract Gas Shielded Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) – a process well-known providing highest quality weld results joined though by lower performance. Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is frequently chosen to increase productivity along with broadly accepted quality. Those industry segments, especially required to produce high quality corrosion resistant weld surfacing e.g. applying nickel base filler materials, are regularly in consistent demand to comply with "zero defect" criteria. In this conjunction weld performance limitations are overcome employing advanced 'hot-wire' GTAW systems. This paper, from a Welding Automation perspective, describes the technology of such devices and deals with the current status is this field – namely the application of dual-cathode hot-wire electrode GTAW cladding; considerably broadening achievable limits.

Industrial processes seek to improve their quality control, including new technologies and satisfying requirements for globalised markets. In this paper, we present an innovative method based on Multivariate Pattern Recognition (MVPR) and process monitoring in a real-world study case. By identifying a distinctive out-of-control multivariate pattern using the Support Vector Machines (SVM) and the Mahalanobis Distance D2 it is possible to infer the variables that disturbed the process; hence, possible faults can be predicted knowing the state of the process. The method is based on our previous work, and in this paper we present the method application for an automated process, namely, the robotic Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). Results from the application indicate an overall accuracy up to 88.8%, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the method, which can also be used in other MVPR tasks.
