AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current modulation control in pulse arc welding limits the range of change in peak current, leading to poor transient response and instability in welding conditions due to high or low peak currents, which affects bead appearance and droplet transfer stability.

Method used

A pulse arc welding control method that switches from current modulation control to pulse period modulation control when peak or base currents reach their limits, allowing wider variation in pulse period to improve transient response and stability.

Benefits of technology

Enhances transient response and stability by allowing wider variation in pulse period, reducing arc deflection and interference, and improving bead appearance and droplet transfer during welding.

Abstract

In a pulsed arc welding method that controls output by current modulation control that changes the peak current, the transient response until the arc length converges to an appropriate value is improved. [Solution] In a pulse arc welding control method in which welding is performed by feeding a welding wire, repeatedly applying a peak current Ip during the peak period Tp and a base current Ib during the base period Tb as one pulse period Tf, and controlling the output by current modulation control that changes at least the peak current Ip, when the value of the peak current Ip becomes equal to the upper limit or lower limit of the peak current due to the current modulation control, the output control is switched to pulse period modulation control that changes the pulse period Tf.
