Development and progress of arc welding in active gases

A.P. Litvinov

Priazovsky State Technical University, Mariupol, Ukraine.

Abstract
Analyzed is the history of emergence and development of arc welding in active gases. It is n oted that this welding method was developed on the basis of progress in metallurgical and electrodynamic components of the process. Maximum effect of its application was achieved at pulsed control of electrode melting, as well as by using special compositions of electrode wires and shielding gas.
Keywords: welding fabrication, arc welding, power source, MAG welding, CO2 welding, welding metallurgy, electrode wire, engineering history
