Abstract
Vertical oscillation arc welding for narrow gap gas metal arc welding (NG-GMAW) has a relatively simple structure, and it is widely used in all-position pipeline field welding. However, it has some shortcomings, such as incomplete fusion defects on the sidewall and interlayer. Aiming at resolving these shortcomings, a mathematical model is proposed to obtain appropriate welding parameters in different positions. In this model, the response surface methodology (RSM) based on the central composite design (CCD) was developed to study the interactions between welding parameters and the weld bead geometry. Then the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate the accuracy and significance of the proposed model. Finally, experiments were carried out in flat, vertical, and overhead positions to obtain the optimal parameters. The macroscopic metallography of the transversal section of the weld bead under the optimizing welding parameters showed that the weld beads were free of defects in the sidewall and interlayers.
