The recent rapid advances in digital inverter-based welding power sources have allowed the realization of pulse gas metal arc welding, which can achieve stable metal transfer even at low welding current and thus reduce heat input to the base material. Moreover, a tandem-wire process using two electrodes can dramatically increase welding productivity. In such a process, two pulse power sources are synchronized and the interference between the adjacent welding arcs is minimized. In this study, high deposition rate pulse welding for Al 5083 alloy was implemented by using Al 5183 wire of three different diameters-1.6, 2.4, and 3.2 mm. Unlike the single-wire process, tandem-wire welding was only implemented using 1.6-mm-diameter wire. The bead shape, deposition rate, process windows, and stability were evaluated for each process. The results indicate that large wire diameters and the tandem process are preferable for high deposition rates, and the penetration depth is dependent on the welding current and speed. The tandem process achieves a remarkably high deposition rate, but spatter generation at high-current levels needs to be addressed.

More than 80% of diphenyl phthalate (DPP) at 100 mg l(-1) was degraded by Sphingomonas chungbukensis KCTC 2955 in a mineral salts medium at pH 7.0 and 30 degrees C within 48 h. The maximum specific degradation rate was 5 mg DPP l(-1 )h(-1). It was rapidly converted to monophenyl phthalate and phthalic acid which were further degraded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
