The given work considers the influence of the power supply type (diode rectifier DR-306 and inverter Nebula-315) upon the chemical composition, microstructure, mechanical properties of weld joints and upon health characteristics of the manual arc welding process.It has been ascertained that the power supply type has a significant influence upon the weld joints properties and health characteristics of the manual arc welding process. Using a new generation inverter power supply allows less heat input into the weld bead, thus, decreasing silicium and manganese burning, improving impact resistance of weld joints under low (negative) temperature and reduces the risk of respiratory diseases for the workers.
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.
