Based on the general principle of arc physics and the physical nature of the action of droplets and weldpool, a distribution mode of current density on the deformed weldpool surface and the heat content of filler metal droplets inside the weldpool is established in this paper. Numerical analysis is used to study the distribution of current density in MIG welding, the distribution mode of the heat content of filler metal droplets, weldpool geometry, the fluid flow and temperature profiles. Experiments are performed to prove the reliability of the calculated mode.展开更多

To analyze the current density distribution in DSAW is beneficial to understanding of this process. Considering all kinds of dynamic factors acting on the weldpool, this paper discusses firstly the surface deformation of the weldpool and the keyhole formation in PAW+TIG DSAW process on the basis of the magnetohydrodynamic theory and variation principles. Hence, a model of the current density distribution is developed. Through numerical simulation, the current density distribution in PAW+TIG DSAW process is quantitatively analyzed. It shows that the minimal radius of keyhole formed in PAW+TIG DSAW process is 0.5 mm and 89.5 percent of current flows through the keyhole.展开更多
