Description
Summary:“External magnetic-field (EMF)” has been proved as an additional process parameter like voltage and current affecting the weld arc form, molten metal-flow, microstructure, and characteristics of the weld joint. This article analyzed the research work that has been done to promote EMF application in welding and discussed the recent development trends and research in the design and fabrication of EMF setup to the controlled arc welding process. It is found that even after the successful application of EMF in welding. Still, there is no mass level initiation to integrate EMF with welding machines that hinder researchers and manufacturers to accept it as a regular process parameter to control weld quality.
