The oscillating phenomenon of the weld pool has a direct physical correspondence with its penetration state, which has broad application prospects in the monitoring of weld penetration states. This article studied the characteristics of the oscillating phenomenon of the weld pool in short-circuiting gas metal arc welding (S-GMAW) with different penetration states based on a welding high-speed photography system. The results show that the form of the liquid bridge electric explosion impact on the weld pool is “surface impact” in S-GMAW. The oscillation frequency of the weld pool decreases as the size of the weld pool increases. Compared with the partially penetrated weld pool, the boundary conditions of the fully penetrated weld pool had different boundary conditions, resulting in higher oscillation amplitude and lower oscillation frequency. In S-GMAW, no difference in welding voltage signal, caused by the difference in amplitude of the weld pool oscillation with different penetration states, was observed. Full article

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. Full article

The influence of heat and droplet transfer into weld pool dynamic behavior and weld metal microstructure in double-pulsed gas metal arc welding (DP-GMAW) was investigated by the self-designed high-speed welding photography system. The heat input, the arc pressure, the droplet momentum and impingement pressure were measured and calculated. It was found that the arc pressure is far less than the droplet impingement pressure. The heat input and droplet impingement pressure per unit time acting on weld pool were proportional to the current pulse frequency, which fluctuated with thermal pulse. The size and oscillation amplitude of the weld pool had noticeable periodic changes synchronized with the process of heat input and droplet impingement. Compared to the microstructure of pulsed gas metal arc welding (P-GMAW) weld metal, that of DP-GMAW weld metal was significantly refined. High oscillation amplitude assisted the enhancement of weld pool convection, which leads to more constitutional supercooling. The heat input and shear force during the peak of thermal pulse causing dendrite fragmentation which provided sufficient crystal nucleus for the growth of equiaxed grains and the possibility of grain refinement. The effects of current parameters on welding behavior and weld metal grain size are investigated for further understanding of DP-GMAW. Full article

The internal relations among the oscillation characteristics of the weld pool, the voltage signal curve and the penetration status of the weld joint in pulsed gas metal arc welding were investigated by using high-speed camera and image analysis system to extract characteristics of weld pool oscillation. The results show that the amplitude of weld pool oscillation decreased with decreasing weld penetration. An abrupt change occurred in the frequency components and amplitude of weld pool oscillation, accompanying the transition from partial to full penetration. The voltage signal curve lost the oscillation frequency characteristic of the pool, due to the curvature of the weld pool surface. While similar to the oscillation amplitude, the fluctuation of the voltage signal caused by the weld pool oscillation reflected the penetration of the weld pool. The abrupt transition in the fluctuation amplitude of the voltage signal in the base duration from partial penetration to full penetration may be used to sense the penetration of the weld pool in real time.
