Analysis of the Effect of Arc Welding Characteristics in Modern MAG Welding Variants on Welding Properties and Weld Geometry
Tomasz Chmielewski, Krzysztof Kudła, Marek Węglowski
The article presents experimental tests aimed to compare welding conditions and technological properties of butt joint welding using low-energy gas-shielded metal arc welding variants such as MAG Standard, MAG Puls, TwinPuls, SpeedPuls, SpeedUp, SpeedArc, SpeedRoot and SpeedCold. The article also presents a comparison of welding efficiency of these processes and the effect of power source dynamic characteristics on the geometry and macrostructure of welds.
