It is important to adjust the welding gun's inclination during automatic curved-joint tracking of arc welding. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to detect the deviation and inclination of the welding gun based on the arc currents acquired by a high-speed rotational arc sensor. It uses a least-squares method to fit the arc currents to a plane in three dimensions. The deviation and inclin...

It is well khown that welding arcs emit intense ultraviolet radiation and those who conduct welding operations or work nearby are exposed to the radiation and often suffer injuries. It is desirable to evaluate the ultraviolet radiation from the viewpoint of industrial health. But, there have been few quantitative studies of this radiation. We determined the ultraviolet effective irradiance, bas...

The arc welding process is widely used in industry but its automatic control is limited by the difficulty in measuring the weld bead geometry and closing the control loop on the arc, which has adverse environmental conditions. To address this problem, this work proposes a system to capture the welding variables and send stimuli to the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) conventional process with a con...

To investigate influence of welding parameters on weld bead geometry in underwater wet flux cored arc welding (FCAW), orthogonal experiments of underwater wet FCAW were conducted in the hyperbaric chamber at water depth from 0.2 m to 60 m and mathematical models were developed by multiple curvilinear regression method from the experimental data. Sensitivity analysis was then performed to predic...
