Abstract
The generating, floating and collapsing of arc bubble is a special phenomenon in underwater flux-cored wet welding. The configuration changing process of bubble will change the stress on droplet and influence the droplet transfer process. In this study, the shape changing of bubble is captured in graphic and the real-time electric signal data is obtained. The impact of bubble floating and collapsing results in the globular repelled transfer mode, which also reduces the arc stability. A self-designed gas-shield cover is used as a bubble constraint device to improve the welding process stability and weld appearances by limiting the free floating and expansion of arc bubble. The relationships between the cover diameter and the characteristics of weld appearance are studied.
