As the metal transfer in the GMAW process affects the weld quality and productivity, the mechanism of molten formation and detachment has been investigated at various welding conditions. The force balance and pinch instability models have been widely used to analyze the metal transfer in the globular and spray modes, respectively A new approach is proposed in this work by minimizing the energy of molten drop system. Effects of the surface tension, gravity, electromagnetic and drag forces are considered with no presumed molten drop geometry. Effects of various welding conditions on the metal transfer are explained. The results show that the proposed mode can be applied to the globular and spray transfer modes. When compared with other models, results of the proposed model show better agreements with the available experimental data, which demonstrates the validity of the present model.

Welding variables and conditions in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) effect on the weld quality and productivity, extensive research efforts have been made to analyze the welding variables and conditions. In this study dynamic behavior of GMAW system is investigated using the characteristic equations of the power supply, wire and welding arc. Characteristic equation of wire is modified to include the effect of droplets attached at the electrode tip. The dynamic characteristics of arc length, current, voltage with respect to the step, ramp inputs of CTWD was simulated, seam tracking procedure using arc sensor was simulated with variable V-Groove geometries and weaving frequencies. From results of simulation, some predictions about dynamic characteristics of GMAW and welding process are available. The proposed simulator and results appear to be utilized to determine the proper welding conditions, to be improved by considering power supply dynamic characteristics.

It is commonly known that, in GMAW, the characteristics of metal transfer and the size of molten drop are highly dependent on the welding current. These changes in the characteristics of metal transfer has a considerable effect on the weld quality, and a lot of studies have been made on metal transfer modes for that reason. In this study, two cases were investigated; the one in which the metal transfer proceeds with gravitational force, surface tension, and no electromagnetic force, and the other in which the process has electromagnetic term in addition, where the current density in the fluid has been assumed to have Gaussian distribution on any given cross-section and it acts vertically. Using fluid flow analysis, this study has observed the whole process of the development and break-up of the molten drop, and it also showed that transitional processes, drop rate, and the drop size in each metal transfer mode can be estimated.

발전설비를 비롯한 산업설비, 각종 압력용기 및 철구조물 제작시 발생하는 여러가지의 용접불량 중에서 슬래그 혼입이 차지하는 비율이 전체 불량의 절반 이상을 차지하고 있다. 특히 여타의 용접법에 비해 SMAW에 의한 슬래그 혼입의 발생이 가장 많으므로 이에 대한 결함 발생의 경향을 조사하고 그 방지대책을 설정하기 위하여 이번 실험을 실시하게 되었다. 수동 용접봉의 피복제 중 가스 발생 원인은 아아크 분위기를 생성하고 기타 부분은 슬래그가 되어 용융금속을 둘러싸서 이것을 보호하면서 용융지로 이행한다. 슬래그는 용융지 내에서 비이드 표면으로 부상하면서 탈산반응이나 불순물을 제거하는 정련작용을 한다. 또한 적당한 합금 원소의 보충, 용융금속의 유동성 증가 등에 의하여 양호한 용착금속의 생성을 돕는다. 한편, 슬래그는 고온금속을 덮어 이것을 보호함과 동시에 급냉을 완화하는 작용을 한다. 그러나 이러한 슬래그가 응고하는 용착금속 사이에 혼입된다면 용착금속의 기계적 성질을 저하시키는 중요한 요인이 된다. 슬래그 혼입에 대하여 간단하고 일반적인 방지대책은 많이 언급되어 있으나 슬래그 혼입의 방지대책에 대해 깊이 있는 연구가 거의 없다. 이번 실험에서는 광범위한 요인의 선제, 싯수의 제안으로 인하여 새로운 슬래그 혼입 기구의 설정이나 특정한 요인의 영향에 대한 정확한 한계치의 설정보다는 각 요인에 대한 정성적인 영향을 분석하였다.

Dynamic characteristics of the short circuit mode are investigated using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method. When the initial molten drop volume, contact area and wire feed rate are given, rate change of the molten bridge profiles, pressure and velocity distributions are predicted. The electromagnetic force with proper boundary conditions are included in the formulation to consider the effects of welding current. It is found that the molten metal is transferred to the weld pool mainly due to the pressure difference caused by the curvatures in the initial stage, and electromagnetic force becomes dominant factor in the final stage of short circuit transfer. Necking occurs at the contact position between the molten drop and weld pool, and the initial molten drop volume and welding current have significant effects on break-up time.

In this study, the effects of the current pulsing conditions, on the spatter generation rate during the $CO_2$ gas metal arc welding (GMAW) were investigated. Normally using the inverter type power supply, of which the welding current waveform was regulated to reduce the spatter generation rate, but in this study pulsing was imposed on the welding current. Observation of the metal transfer phenomena during the pulsed current GMAS indicated that the droplet transfer from the electrode via the short circuit transfer and the repelling transfer mode could be minimized by selecting optimum combinations of pulsing parameters, which include base and peak current, base and pak duration. It was also demonstrated in this study that proper combinations of the pulsing parameters led to reduce generation of spatters during GMAW shielded by $CO_2$ gas.
