Abstract:The aim of the study is to reduce welding fume emissions from flux-cored wires using pulse technology. Low-alloyed cored wires of the rutile, basic, and metal powder types were selected for this purpose. The analyses were carried out on a DIN EN ISO 15011–1:2010 compliant test rig. In addition, high-speed recordings of the material transition mode and metallographic cross-sections were made to interpret the results. Using characteristic curves developed in pre-tests, the influence of pulse time, pulse frequenc… Show more
