Investigation of the thermal state of the welding arc at changes in the polarity of alternating current

Pages 387-391 | Published online: 28 Nov 2012
 

Abstract

Investigations were carried out to determine the distribution of the optical density of blackening of the film characterizing the existence of the temperature ‘well’ in TIG welding of aluminium alloys in argon at changes in the polarity of alternating sinusoidal current. The results show that the concentration of the electrons in the arc gap decreases 9.8–11.8 times depending on current polarity. The conditions of stable repeated arc ignition at changes in current polarity were determined.
