摘要
A new welding process was named as pulsed ultrasonic assisted GTAW (PU-GTAW). In low-frequency of 1-20 Hz, the arc shape went through from expansion to contraction and re-expansion with the change of pulsed frequency, which was defined as pulsed arc. When the pulsed frequency was excessed 20 Hz, the PU-GTAW arc shape was compressed compared with that of conventional GTAW, which was defined as compression arc. Compression degree of arc shape with the pulsed frequency of 20-50 Hz was less than that of 50 Hz-. When the compression degree of arc was a certain value, the PU-GTAW could obtain the arc shape with the less energy consumption compared with U-GTAW. The melting energy of PU-GTAW was increased by 10% compared to GTAW. The increase of melting energy was the fundamental reason for the increase of geometry parameters of weld appearance in the PU-GTAW.
