Influence of the Longitudinal Magnetic Field on the Formation of the Bead in Narrow Gap Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

The oscillation arc assisted by an extra alternating longitudinal magnetic field (LMF) in narrow gap tungsten arc welding is proved to be effective in avoiding welding defects due to insufficient fusion at the side walls in joining thick wall plates. The behavior of the welding arc and molten pool u...
