Abstract

In order to achieve high efficiency, energy saving and high quality of welding, it is necessary to carry out research on cable-type wire TIG-MIG hybrid welding. In this study, voltage and current influences on the arc shape in cable-type wire TIG-MIG hybrid welding were studied. The results showed that in cable-type wire TIG-MIG hybrid welding, with an increase in the TIG current, the MIG current increased at first and then remained constant, while the MIG basic voltage remained unchanged. With an increase in the MIG voltage, the TIG current produced small changes, but overall, it remained stable. The TIG current of different droplet-transfer modes had different effects.
