Abstract

AbstractGas metal arc (GMA) welding requires improved process stability, higher quality and efficiency, and quantitative control of the heat input and deposition. These requirements can be achieved by appropriately controlling the metal transfer phenomenon. However, this control method has primarily been applied to short-circuit transfer, and very few examples of its application to free-flight transfer exist. Therefore, the effect of wire feed control on free-flight transfer remains unclear. In this study, the influence of wire feed control on the free-flight transfer phenomenon in the GMA welding process using an aluminum wire electrode was investigated through experimental observations, and free-flight transfer control was attempted.It was observed the free-flight transfer phenomenon, particularly globular transfer, under low-current conditions with controlled wire feeding under various feed conditions, using wire feed–retract speeds and cycles as parameters. The observation results revealed two patterns with different timings of droplet detachment under long- and short-period conditions. Furthermore, the observation of the droplet detachment motions revealed that the inertia caused by the acceleration or deceleration of the feed speed acts on the droplet. Moreover, the difference between the two transfer patterns is primarily caused by the inertia acting on the droplet before and after switching the wire feed–retract direction and the size of the droplet at that time. Based on this, free-flight transfer can be stabilized by reconfiguring the feed conditions.
