摘要:
A contact tip assembly with a preheating tip comprises a welding-type power source configured to provide welding-type current to a welding-type circuit, the welding-type circuit comprising a welding-type electrode and a first contact tip of a welding torch. The assembly also includes an electrode preheating circuit configured to provide preheating current through a portion of the welding-type electrode via a second contact tip of the welding torch, and a voltage sense circuit to monitor a voltage drop across the two contact tips, and the electrode preheating circuit adjusts at least one of the first current or the preheating current based on the voltage drop.

The present disclosure is generally directed to a high temperature lubricant for use in a preheated welding wire system. The lubricant may comprise one or more high melting point materials in a concentration from 0.5 to 30 wt % by weight of the lubricant. The high melting point materials may comprise graphite, molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide, or boron nitride. The lubricant is configured to remain on a welding wire electrode that has been coated with the lubricant without melting when a preheater heats the welding wire electrode to an elevated temperature (e.g., between 500 and 900 degrees Celsius). The lubricant may be a powder or a liquid. When the lubricant is a liquid, it may further comprise a solvent such as 2-proponal or water.
摘要:
In a welding system, a preheating process is carried out prior to initiation of a welding arc, such as upon depression of a trigger or switch on a welding torch. The preheating process involves generation and application of desired currents and voltages to a welding electrode from a power supply. Preheating is continued until the welding electrode reaches a desired temperature or resistance, which may be determined by reference to an increasing voltage, a decreasing current, a peaked and declining voltage, resistance and/or power measurements, and so forth. Following preheating, a desired welding process may begin with initiation of the welding arc.

A welding system includes a power supply configured to output power to a welding device. The power supply is configured to alternate the power output between an arc phase and a hotwire phase. The power output in the arc phase produces an arc between a welding electrode and a workpiece, and the power output in the hotwire phase heats the welding electrode without producing an arc.

摘要:
A combined welding method with a filler wire using both a YAG laser and an electric arc, and a combined welding device with a filler wire using both a YAG laser and an electric arc, a welding in which a welding gap margin is broad, height and shape of reinforcement of weld, and penetration depth are preferable, can be effectively performed by the method or the device. The welding is performed by directing a laser focus 8 of a YAG laser 9 on base materials 31 and 32 for welding or the vicinity of the focus 8 by a filler wire 20, connecting a power source 22 for applying a voltage to the filler wire between the filler wire 20 and the base materials for welding, irradiating a YAG laser on the base materials for welding in the connecting condition, whereby an arc is induced to the filler wire by a plume (plasma-activated gas and the metal vapor), and holding the plume generated by YAG laser inside and outside of a keyhole.

An AC TIG welding apparatus using a hot wire is disclosed. An unconsumable electrode (5) such as of tungsten is arranged in opposedly spaced relationship with a base metal (6) to be welded. An AC arc welding power supply (2) is connected between the base metal (6) and the unconsumable electrode (5). A filler wire (9) such as of aluminum is fed toward an arc-generated part between the base metal (6) and the unconsumable electrode (5). A wire feeder (8) supplies the filler wire (9). An unconsumable-electrode welding apparatus comprising the above-mentioned devices further comprises a wire-heating power supply (3) for producing a pulsed current. The wire heating power supply (3) heats the filler wire (9) by supplying thereto a pulsed current in accordance with a synchronous signal from the AC arc welding power supply (2) or a detection signal of an arc current i A or an arc voltage of the AC arc power supply (2).The filler wire (9) is thus heated by being supplied with a heating current i W in pulse form while the unconsumable electrode (5) is kept negative by an AC arc (7) formed between the unconsumable electrode (5) and the base metal (6). During the period when the unconsumable electrode (5) is kept positive by the AC arc (7), on the other hand, the filler wire (9) is not supplied with any current or is heated by being supplied only with a sufficiently small current not to cause any substantial magnetic flow. Accordingly, even if a large current flows through the wire (9), arc interruptions can be eliminated, thereby improving the welding process of aluminum by using an AC TIG arc.
