Abstract

A method is described to determine geometrical dimensions of electrode metal droplets depending on short circuit duration. It provides a quantitative evaluation of the electrode metal transfer and the energy impact on metal parts being welded. It is proved that using inverter power source decreases the size of droplets transferred to the welding pool by 24% in average if compared with a diode power source. It also reduces overheating of the droplets which improves efficiency of transferring chemical elements from the electrode to the weld metal.
