Oscillation characteristics of molten pool in ultra-thin plate pulsed micro-plasma arc welding.

Due to the oscillation behavior of the molten pool, the dynamic change of the molten pool profile has a certain fluctuation. Based on the visual sensing detection method, the oscillation behavior of molten pool in pulsed micro-plasma arc welding of 0.1 mm thick ultra-thin stainless steel was studied, and the influence of different pulse parameters of welding current on the oscillation frequency and amplitude of molten pool was discussed. The results show that the size of molten pool fluctuates slightly during the action of base current and peak current, which is caused by molten pool oscillation. The oscillation frequency of the molten pool increases with the increase of the pulse current frequency in a certain range, while the oscillation amplitude of the molten pool decreases with the increase of the pulse current frequency. The oscillation frequency of the molten pool can reflect the quality of the weld seam forming. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
