Abstract
Developed systems of automatic stabilization of the process of consumable electrode pulse-arc welding (CEPAW) are described, allowing stabilization of mean values of arc voltage and welding current, under the impact of disturbances. This leads to lowering of the probability of porosity and lack-of-fusion in Al-Mg alloys, decrease in spattering and sputtering, as well as stabilization of the width of welds in CEPAW of carbon steels.
Keywords: consumable electrode pulse-arc welding, automation, process stabilization, disturbing factors, feedback, weld appearance, pores
