- Abstract
The present paper reports on weld penetration control based on weld pool oscillation during gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) with cold filler wire addition (cold wire GTAW). Experiments were carried out in which the weld pool was brought into oscillation by applying short pulses on the welding current. The frequency of the weld pool oscillation was obtained from the arc voltage variation via fast Fourier transform analysis. It was found that the weld pool oscillation approach is suitable for penetration control during cold wire GTAW when the metal transfer occurs in an uninterrupted bridging manner. Interrupted bridging transfer results in a disturbed oscillation signal due to agitation of the weld pool by mass transfer and/or oscillation of the pendant droplet.
