The purpose of this study is to develop the ultra-high-speed GTA welding process with hot-wire system using pulsed current to heat filler wire. For precise control of the ultra-high-speed (over 5 m/min) GTA welding, it is necessary to understand deeply the ultra-high-speed welding phenomenon. The melting phenomenon of filler wire was observed in detail by a high-speed camera and filler wire temperature was measured precisely by a radiation thermometer. As a result, precise temperature distribution of filler wire and clearly visualized wire melting phenomenon was obtained.
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.
