Abstract
Real-time measuring and obtaining surface tension of liquid metal during the arc welding process is critical for studying the behavior of the weld pool, such as Marangoni flow and flow velocity. The dynamic variation of surface tension of weld pool during tungsten inert gas welding process with and without fluoride flux was measured by weld pool oscillation sensing system, and the effect of fluoride flux on surface tension and pool behavior was analyzed. The results show that the surface tension gradient of liquid metal can convert from a negative to a positive value in a critical arc time. The flow velocity of liquid metal and critical arc time significantly increased and decreased, respectively, with fluoride flux. The variation of surface tension, flow velocity, and critical arc time with fluoride flux was induced by arc temperature increasing.
