Metal Transfer Behavior of Consumable DE-GMAW

Article Preview

Abstract:

Consumable double-electrode gas metal arc welding (consumable DE-GMAW) is a novel and high efficient welding method. According to the different polarity of two electrodes in consumable DE-GMAW, the metal transfer behaviors are analyzed by using the state force balance theory. For main torch with direct current electrode positive polarity, the arc root area is enlarged by bypass arc and increased electromagnetic force promotes main metal transfer. For bypass torch with direct current electrode negative polarity, the electromagnetic force does not work on the melting area. Only gravity force is major detaching force. The volume of bypass droplet is large and not easily detache to the weld pool.
