    Abstract: A low-back-pressure penetrating arc welding apparatus and a welding method using the same are disclosed. Through vacuuming a central vacuum chamber of a low-back-pressure protection device by a suction device, a plume of a penetrating arc located in the central vacuum chamber, as well as a back side of a keyhole molten pool, are maintained in a negative-pressure vacuum state relative to an argon gas ambience. A pressure gradient in the keyhole molten pool is thus generated that points from a front side of the keyhole molten pool to the back side of the keyhole molten pool. The pressure gradient thus further enhances a stiffness of the front side of the keyhole molten pool as well as a stability of the penetrating arc, resulting in an enhancement in the piercing capability of the penetrating arc, without changing a force distribution and a temperature gradient of the keyhole molten pool.

    Abstract: Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a widely used process for joining metals. Its main advantage over its competition gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is its high productivity in depositing metals. However, to melt metal from the wire to deposit into the work-piece, additional heat is consumed and applied to the work-piece with an uncontrolled fixed proportion to the effective heat that melts the wire. Such additional heat is often in excess of the needed heat input for the work-piece. The side-effects include a waste of the energy, an increased distortion, and possible materials property degradation. This invention is to device a method to transfer this part of heat to melt the wire by adding two wires, which form a pair of arc spots, under a tungsten arc. It also devices a method to assure the arc between the two wires be maintained stable such that the transfer be successfully continuous. The successful continuous transfer improves the energy efficiency, eliminates the adverse effects on the distortion and materials property, and decouples the controls on mass input and heat input on the work-piece.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a central negative pressure arc welding apparatus and method. Through a pumping gas pipeline from the suction device to hollow tubular electrode, a suction device may establish a stable, high energy density and binding arc beneath hollow tubular electrode. The binding degree, energy density and voltage of arc may be adjusted by changing the value of negative pressure in the center of arc. Accordingly, welding heat input and coefficient of weld may be precisely controlled. This apparatus may further set up central pulsating negative pressure arc by turning on valve periodically to make a periodic negative pressure in the center of arc. This present disclosure both possesses good stability and adaptability of traditional Gas Tungsten Arc Welding and achieves binding arc and good penetration of Plasma Arc Welding. Furthermore, this present disclosure improves the mechanical properties of welded joints.
