High-frequency pulse modulated variable polarity welding power and its arc pressure

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A novel variable polarity welding power with high-frequency pulse modulation is designed by means of superimposed circuit, which can produce arc characteristics of high-frequency pulse welding in variable polarity welding process. Based on mathematic model of arc pressure and process experiment, the high-frequency pulsed current can increase arc pressure in a large scale. In the same root-mean-square welding current, the arc pressure with high-frequency (5 kHz) pulsed current increase to 2 times of the normal tungsten inert-gas welding arc, and it helpful for increasing of arc stiffness and energy density. It also provides theoretical proof for further researches on the high-frequency pulse modulated variable polarity welding.
