AbstractA new efficient welding method, Consumable DEGMAW was proposed. According to the many problems
occurred when the welding process is open-loop, such as
instability of the welding process and a large welding spatter
etc. A real-time target hardware platform was built for
consumable DE-GMAW based on xPCand a rapid prototyping
control system was also developed for consumable DE-GMAW
with the Matlab/Simulink. The high-speed welding based on
consumable DE-GMAW was realized under close loop control,
and good weld shaping was acquired at high welding speed. Then
the reasons realized high-speed welding through consumable DEGMAW was analyzed briefly according to humping weld induced
by arc pressure theory. The theory analysis and experiments
results show that consumable DE-GMAW provides a new
method for high-speed welding.
