Identification of the Dominant Factor for Droplet Ejection from a Tungsten Electrode during AC Tungsten Inert Gas Welding by Visualisation of Electrode Phenomena

Droplet ejections from a molten tungsten electrode during alternating current tungsten inert gas (AC TIG) welding were observed successfully by a high-speed video captured at 75,000 fps. The welding conditions and timings that were likely to occur were investigated. The electrode surface temperature...
