摘要
The metal transfer behavior of gas metal arc welding in a pure argon shielding gas was evaluated through experiments using a standard solid wire and a metal-cored wire. The investigation was conducted using observation techniques based on recording images by a high-speed camera equipped with laser assistance and bandpass filters in a range of welding currents. It was observed that the metal transfer mode became a streaming transfer mode when the welding current increased in the solid wire. Meanwhile, in the metal-cored wire, the droplet transfer frequency increased, and the droplet diameter decreased without changing the metal transfer mode in the globular transfer mode. We surmised that the streaming transfer in the solid wire would be caused by the spread of argon plasma at the wire tip, which decreases the effect of the electromagnetic force on droplet detachment. Conversely, due to the presence of flux inside the metal-cored wire, the argon plasma could not spread and was attached close to the iron vapor plasma at the overhead of the droplet. Hence, the electromagnetic force acting on the side of the unmelted flux was ineffective at promoting droplet detachment, preventing the transition to a streaming transfer mode. Furthermore, weld bead formation in the metal-cored wire was better than that in a conventional solid wire.
