Determination of pulse current optimal parameters for manual arc welding

Abstract

Manual welding by pulsing arc (pulse current) is researched in the article. The advantages of welding by pulse current are found out in comparison with the welding by direct current. While using energy calculation and taking into account thermal balance at the electrode stub, optimal parameters of the modulated current, such as frequency and duration of electrical pulses were established for different welding regimes. This stabilizes heat, which is necessary for making melting drops, by lowering the level of metal splash and improves of the weld formation.
