AI Technical Summary
Existing aluminum alloy medium-thick plate T-type HV joints are prone to defects such as burn-through, weld beads, porosity, cracks, inclusions, and shrinkage cavities at the weld tail and around the weld during welding, resulting in high production costs and low efficiency.
The welding method combines a four-step mode with a dual-pulse mode. This includes using a dual-pulse mode current value to weld to the end of the weld during the welding process, filling the molten pool with an up-and-down oscillating technique, and filling the crater at the end of the arc with a circular motion, all while using high-purity argon gas for protection.
It effectively prevents welding defects and improves the welding quality and production efficiency of T-type HV joints for medium and thick aluminum alloy plates.
