The free air ball (FAB) formation processes of fine diameter Cu wires were observed, and the effects of process parameters were studied on the basis of high-speed camera observation. It was revealed that the FAB formation process is characterized by preheating before melting, melting that accompanies ball rising, and solidification periods. The relationships between the electronic flame-off (EFO) condition and the FAB formation were summarized for both bare Cu and palladium-coated Cu (PCC) wires. Further study was performed on the changes in FAB shape with different EFO conditions, wire types, and FAB sizes. Off-centered FABs were observed in the bare Cu wire whereas they were rarely observed in the PCC wire. The off-center tended to be affected by shielding gas condition, EFO torch gap, and FAB size. The mechanisms of the off-centered FAB formation were proposed through the high-speed camera observations. The optimization of process parameters to achieve defect-free, consistent FAB is discussed based on these findings, which is useful for the next generation high-density packaging.

The end surface angle of workpece is one of key factors that affect burr sizes and shapes. In this paper, the burr formation process of different end surface angle is simulated with elastic plastic nonlinear element method based on ABAQUS. The influence of end surface angle of workpiece on burr formation processes in high-speed machining 2024 Aluminum alloy is analyzed. The influence of end surface angle on burr sizes and shapes is studied based on equivalent shear strain and negative shear angle. The results have investigated the mechanisms of burr formation fundamentally, which is the basis of burr minimization.

This study performed welding on various welding positions in the flat, overhead, and vertical down positions using a pulsed gas metal arc welding (P-GMAW) process. Despite the same amount of heat input on various welding positions, the welding characteristics varied depending on the welding positions. The effect of gravity on the welding process determined the different formation of the weld bead, and the influence of molten pool behavior on various welding positions changed the microstructure in the weld metal. The current and voltage signals were synchronized with a high-speed camera using a data acquisition (DAQ) system. To induce the one pulse one drop (OPOD) process of metal transfer, the shielding gas was used 95% Ar+5% CO2. The microstructure of the weld metal was analyzed in relation to molten pool behavior.
