TENDENCIES IN DEVELOPMENT OF CONTROL OF METAL TRANSFER PROCESSES IN SHIELDING GASES (Review)

A.M. ZHERNOSEKOV

E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute, NASU, Kiev, Ukraine
 
 
Abstract
Trends in development of modern arc power sources and gas-shielded consumable electrode welding technologies are analyzed. Different types of electrode metal transfer and the possibility of controlling them by varying the welding current parameters are considered. A high potential of the controllable gas-shielded pulsed-arc welding process is substantiated.
 
 
Keywords: metal transfer control, consumable electrode arc welding, shielding gases, short-circuiting, rotating arc
