Description
Description A Laser-GMA Arc Composite Heat Source Wire-filled Welding Method Technical Field: The invention relates to a laser-GMA arc composite heat source wire-filled welding method.
Background Technology: At present, a laser-GMA arc composite heat source wire-filled welding technology is an advanced welding technology with high efficiency and high quality. Compared with traditional GMAW, a laser-GMA arc composite heat source wire-filled welding method has technical advantages such as fast welding speed, low welding heat input, small welding deformation, large weld penetration, easy to realize the single-sided welding and double-sided forming, refined joint structure, and improved joint performance. In particular, the welding method can achieve high-stability arc welding under high-speed welding conditions, so that the welding method has significant technical advantages in the welding of medium and thin plates. When this process is used for workpiece welding, in order to effectively control the welding deformation, the characteristics of high-speed welding of this process should be fully utilized to increase the welding speed as much as possible. However, under high-speed welding conditions, in order to improve the deposition efficiency, the power of the GMA arc is generally increased to obtain a larger amount of welding wire deposition. However, this method of increasing the amount of deposited metal by increasing the power of the GMA arc tends to overheat the molten pool metal, which seriously affects the weld formation, and even causes defects such as weld collapse and undercut, as well as joint performance and structure damage. It can be seen that for the laser-GMA arc composite heat source wire-filled welding process, the traditional method of increasing the arc power to improve the deposition efficiency has very large drawbacks and technical limitations, which restricts the welding process to achieve higher technical bottleneck of welding efficiency.
