Abstract

In this project, the influence of TIG currents’s variation on arc stability of TIG/MIG hybrid welding was studied by comparing with MIG welding process. The welding current-voltage waveform was analyzed to characterize the arc stability of the MIG arc. From the observations, the introduction of TIG arc as low as 60 A of current significantly change the MIG arc stability in TIG/MIG hybrid welding. The length of MIG arc in TIG/MIG welding increased with the introduction of the TIG arc as compared with MIG welding. The increase of arc length was due to the arc interaction between the TIG arc and MIG arc, which is affecting the wire melting rate. At the maximum TIG current, the diameter of the molten droplet decreased with the increment of droplet transfer frequency.
