Research of a Novel Non-Axisymmetric Side-Compressed Variable Polarity Plasma Arc and Its Pressure Distribution Characteristics

In the keyhole variable polarity plasma arc weldng (VPPAW) process at horizontal position, the metal driven by gravity gathered on one side of the molten pool, and the weld formation is difficult, especially for thick workpiece welding. A specially designed experiment to analyze the influence of gra...
