A welding DC power supply system suitable for consumable or non-consumable electrode welding, including plural inverter units for converting a first direct current into an alternate current and for rectifying the alternate current to produce an output of a second direct current; a circuit connecting the output of terminals of the inverter units in parallel; a detection circuit for detecting the total output current of the inverter units; and a circuit for varying the number of operating inverter units according to the value of the detected total output current. According to other aspects of the invention, the power supply system is further provided with a phase control means for controlling the phases of alternate currents produced by the respective inverter units, or means for selectively actuating a particular inverter unit or units in a short circuit period of large current in dip transfer welding, or feedback means for suppressing the current in a controlled timing in the final stage of each short circuit period to prevent spattering as caused by bursting rupture of the large short circuit current.
摘要:
A control system for air-carbon arc metal removal in which the arc is automatically controlled and in which the arc power is produced by either a constant potential or constant current power source. For a constant potential source, the arc current is maintained at a predetermined value by sensing the magnitude of the arc current and for a constant current source the arc voltage is maintained at a predetermined value by sensing the magnitude of the arc voltage. The presence of an arc current above a threshold is sensed for a predetermined interval to provide relative motion between the workpiece carriage and the electrode. If the electrode arc current drops below a predetermined threshold, a low current sensing circuit is actuated. If the arc current remains below the threshold for a predetermined time interval, the carriage travel is terminated. If the arc current remains below the threshold for longer than a predetermined amount of time, the electrode power is turned off. In addition, if the arc voltage drops or remains below a threshold for a predetermined time period, the electrode power is also turned off.

This disclosure relates to an arc welding system primarily intended to replace present systems utilizing an inert gas atmosphere in which the welding takes place. It is proposed to provide a high voltage, low power ignition supply to produce an arc across a spark gap between electrodes and thus provide an ionized atmosphere in which a welding arc may be produced from a low voltage high power main power source. The main power source may include a capacitor which is constantly charged between actuation of the ignition circuit.

A process and system for welding of the tungsten inert gas (TIG) type is described. A welding torch is mounted on a mechanism which provides for motion of the torch with respect to the work (a pipe being welded) in three different directions. Movement in each direction is electronically controlled so as to obtain preset magnitudes of oscillation of the torch, both vertically and laterally with respect to the work. The vertical oscillation is provided by following the pulsating arc current in accordance with a preselected control function. In addition, the system and process provides for control of substantially all of the parameters affecting the formation of the weld in order to produce improved weldments.

A safe, convenient ignition arrangement is described for a ''''cold'''' plasma burner adapted, e.g., to effect a finishing surface-hardening operation on a grounded metallic workpiece. Argon or other plasma-forming gas is subjected to an electromagnetic field in an elongated ionization chamber. The resulting ionized gas passes through a working gap formed between an output nozzle of the conductive chamber and an elongated electrode mounted axially in the chamber. A remotely located switch is operative to complete an electrical path to ground through the gap and the electrode, thereby igniting the ionized gas.
