Application of digital inverter-controlled AC pulsed MIG welding system to light metal joining

Process chain evaluation for an overall optimization of energy efficiency in manufacturing—The welding case

“…Fig. 6 depicts different system borders used in literature in the field of energy efficiency and welding efficiencies: #1: [15][16][17]; #2: original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)or welding equipment; #3: [18][19][20]; #4: [21][22][23][24][25]; #5: [26].…”

Droplet transfer and spatter generation in DC–AC pulse tandem gas metal arc welding

“…AC-pulse-mode GMAW (AC-GMAW), sometimes called variable-polarity GMAW, has been proposed as a method to prevent arc deflection due to electromagnetic arc blow [21]. In AC-GMAW, optimisation of the pulse waveform is complicated because the number of control parameters is twice that of GMAW-P [22]; recently, fully digital controlled power sources with built-in parameter sets have been developed for AC-GMAW, and a reliable droplet transfer and arc length control have been reported [23, 24]. Stable drop transfer and arc formation have been confirmed for an asynchronous T-GMAW process with AC-GMAW introduced into the trailing process [25].…”

The Design of Data Input Module in Virtual Welding System

“…In recent years, the computer level has improved continuously, as well as the continues improve of the computer graphic technology, which make virtual manufacturing technology has a pivotal position not only in the prediction process, but also in the processing efficiency in the modern manufacturing industry [1][2][3]. As one of the most basic key technologies of virtual manufacturing, virtual processing technology is an indispensable part of the virtual manufacturing system.…”
