“…In the CMT advance-based WAAM process, the molten pool flow was under the action of arc pressure, surface tension, self-induced electromagnetic force, and buoyancy force. The surface tension gradient and shear stress driven by the arc plasma jet played significant roles in the convention of molten pool [20]. The EP CMT cycles and total heat input increased when the high EP/EN ratios were selected.…”

“…The EP CMT cycles and total heat input increased when the high EP/EN ratios were selected. The excessive heat input increased the temperature at the centre of the molten pool, which increased the surface tension gradient and strengthened the Marangoni convective during the deposition process [20,21]. This convective motion was detrimental to the stability of the molten pool and forming accuracy during the WAAM process.…”

The influence of electrode positive/electrode negative (EP/EN) ratio on cold metal transfer advance-based wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process for Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was studied in this paper. The process stability was investigated via analysing electrical waveforms and arc/metal transfer images concurrently. A high EP/EN ratio ( ≥ 13:7) was beneficial to decrease abnormal long wait phase duration of current and spatter of droplet, which improved the stability of WAAM process. The forming accuracies of the samples increased first and then decreased with the increase of EP/EN ratio due to the incompatibility of the heat input and molten pool flow. The average width and effective width coefficient showed a positive correlation with EP/EN ratio.

A new method, bypass-current plasma-MIG hybrid arc welding, was proposed to weld AA 5083 aluminium alloy. A comparative investigation between simulation and experiment was performed to quantify different effects of bypass-current and out plasma current on droplet transfer behaviours. The results show that when the bypass-current is 15 A, the droplets present a projected transfer mode, and its period is 22 ms. But if the outer plasma current is 15 A, the transfer frequency increases 19.1 Hz, and the sizes of the droplet show a slight increase. This is due to the reduction of electromagnetic force and arc plasma force on droplets. The research outcomes provide benefits to the droplet transfer behaviours in control and optimisation during aluminium alloy welding.
