Study of static and dynamic characteristics of welding power source-arc systems

Abstract

Each arc welding method has its own characteristics resulting from the range of process parameters used, properties of the welding arc (chemical composition of the arc environment, type of electrode, etc.) as well as the mode of metal transfer, thus creating specific requirements regarding both static and dynamic welding power sources. This article presents selected aspects concerning the determination of output characteristics of welding power sources based on previous studies as well as the prospect for further research.
