Without the increase in welding current, activating fluxes for arc welding with a non-consumable electrode (ATIG) and for welding with a consumable electrode (AMIG) allow for the increase in depth of penetration 2-4 times. These two procedures are essentially different in terms of their implementation. In AMIG welding, the problems in the creation of a welding joint stem from the influence of the critical value of the metal bath surface. The critical value of the surface is achieved by using welding current of 280-300 A and, according to the experimental results, its value is 160-190 mm 2. By achieving the critical surface value, the positive influence of the activating fluxes on the penetration ability of the electric arc is lost. Optimum interval of welding current for AMIG is 200-500 A, which significantly exceeds the permissible threshold. In ATIG welding, the effect of the critical surface of the bath is not observed, because it requires welding current that exceeds the optimal value interval (max. 250 A), which is conditioned by the stability of the non-consumable electrode. By increasing welding current over 250-300 A, the working tip of the electrode is rapidly consumed and the stability of the welding process is disturbed.
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.
