Abstract
A magnetic generating device was proposed to regulate the transverse and backward flow of weld pool for high-speed gas metal arc welding (GMAW). Compound external magnetic field (EMF) was simulated to verify the feasibility of designed magnetic generating device. The highest welding speed with good weld bead appearance was 1.7 m/min with the wire feed speed of 9.0 m/min when compound EMF was applied. The effect of the compound EMF on the arc and droplet motion was studied by image acquisition system. The suppression mechanism of the compound EMF on the undercut defect of high-speed GMAW was analyzed. The mechanism of the influence of the applied compound EMF on different welding speeds and welding currents was studied by the application of the compound EMF-assisted welding process, and low-cost, high-quality, and high-speed welding technology was realized.
