Weld pool motion in GTA welding: importance and description

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6629631
Studies of material and arc effects on penetration in GTA welding are summarized and the resulting conclusions given. Metal flow in the weld pool, the apparent control mechanism, is described as having two basically different patterns which lead to the observed fusion zone shapes. Experimental evidence for these patterns and their likely mode of interaction with the arc are also presented.
