Abstract
Effect of changes in electrode stickout on geometric parameters of welds in pulsed-arc consumable electrode welding was studied. It was found that application of system of automatic stabilization of mean values of arc voltage with an effect on parameters of power source pulses does not allow compensation of change in weld width. System of automatic stabilization of mean values of arc voltage and welding current with a proper effect on parameters of pulses of power source and electrode wire feed speed prevents the decrease in weld width caused by increase in electrode stickout.
