A computational investigation of the effectiveness of different shielding gas mixtures for arc welding

Abstract: Tungsten–inert-gas welding arcs are modelled using a two-dimensional axisymmetric computational code. Both electrodes (the tungsten cathode and the metal anode workpiece) and the arc plasma are included self-consistently in the computational domain. The influence of adding helium, hydrogen and nitrogen to the argon shielding gas is investigated. It is found that addition of any of the gases increases the heat flow to and the current density at the anode. The shear stress and the arc pressure at the anode surfa… Show more

“…for 200 A in [15]). Results in [16] for 150 A are rather comparable. As pointed out in [17], higher temperatures near the cathode result from the model if the arc cathode attachment (the application range of the sheath model as explained in Section 3) is restricted to a proper part of the cathode.…”

“…As discussed in [31], the increased arc constriction can be explained in terms of the high volumetric enthalpy of CO 2 . According to the 'thermal pinch' effect discussed by Tanaka and co-workers [39,40], the cross-sectional area through which heat flows is approximately inversely proportional to the volumetric enthalpy (the product of the stationary mass density and the specific enthalpy) averaged over the cross-sectional area, so the higher volumetric enthalpy decreases the cross-sectional area.. The higher current density in turn increases the resistive heating and the magnetic pinch force, thereby increasing the temperature and flow velocity.…”
