Observing the weld pool and measuring its geometrical parameters is a key issue for developing the next generation intelligent welding machine and modeling complex welding process. In the past few years, different techniques have been applied, but the dynamic specular weld pool surface and the strong weld arc complicate these approaches and make the observation difficult. To resolve the problem...

The present paper describes fuzzy logic simulation of tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) process to predict the weldment macrostructure zones' shape profile characteristics. The prediction of the weld pool geometry together with the shape of the heat affected zone (HAZ) was accomplished taking into account of TIG welding process parameters such as arc traverse speed, welding current and arc lengt...

As one of techniques to improve a penetration depth in gas tungsten arc welding, it has been proposed that carbon dioxide is applied as shielding using double torch. Two types gases can flow independently the torch: inner and outer gas. The purpose this study was clarification behavior establish guideline for controlling oxygen contamination which affects toughness welded part formed by welding...

Background: Hazardous chemical agents in the welding operation are a mixture of metal fumes and toxic gases, the inhalation of which causes adverse health effects among welders. The emission of gases in the workplace is a logical cause for concern regarding the potential development of respiratory disease. The aim of the present study was to determine the concentration values of gases discharge...

Gas tungsten arc welding is the primary process for precision joining of metals. To develop a simple yet durable sensing and control system for this process, a novel sensor which requires no additional attachment is proposed to sense the depth of the weld pool surface using a non-transferred arc. To assure its effectiveness and accuracy, a flat surface is periodically established to provide a r...
