The magnetic pressure induction system 8 is fixed to the outer wall of the upper part of the wire feeder nozzle 31 and is arranged around the welding head 6.

[0042] The magnetic induction lines of the magnetic pressure induction system 8 mainly distribute in the vertical direction, and the magnetic induction lines of the symmetrical sliding magnetic field generating system mainly distribute in the horizontal direction, and the two magnetic fields form an orthogonal magnetic field configuration in the molten pool area.
[0043] The orthogonal magnetic field configuration design makes the magnetic field lines of the two magnetic field systems perpendicular to each other in geometric space, forming a relatively independent magnetic field action area.

By measuring the magnetic field intensity at the preset spatial grid points, the magnetic field spatial distribution data is obtained. Using the magnetic field vector analysis method, the included angle distribution of the two magnetic field directions is calculated.
