Abstract
A new approach is proposed to design of elements of the system of electrode wire feed, which is practically completely based on selection of materials, which perform in the most effective manner in the specific assemblies of this system, or on a combination of these materials with the design solutions for the mechanism of transfer of motion from the rollers to the wire. The above technical solutions and the above approach on the whole can be widely applied both in the currently used equipment for mechanized welding of aluminium and in the semi-automatic machines being developed
Keywords: arc welding, aluminium alloys, semi-automatic machine, wire feed, pulsed feed, rollers, guide channel, electric drive
