The conventional $CO_2$ inverter arc machine has constant voltage output characteristic and uses constant wire speed controller for welding current control. By adoption of PWM inverter to the welding machine, the spattering was reduced rather than the thyrister arc welding machine or AC arc welding machine. Moreover, by the high switching frequency, the output reactor size could be reduced evidently. Recently, the studies on optimal voltage and current waveform for the welding performance improvement have been studied. In this paper, a new instantaneous output current control scheme during the short circuit mode was proposed and showed the capability of arc stability improvement and the reduction of spatter generation.

Gas metal arc welding(GMAW) uses a continuously fed electrode as a filler metal. The arc is shielded from atmospheric contamination by an inert gas active or inert/active gas mixture delivered through the welding gun and cable assembly. The recent research topics on $CO_2$ are welding machines are focused mainly on the reduction method of generated spatter by using new type consumable electrode metal or inverter control method. The various current waveform control methods have been researched for welding performance improvement. Until now current waveform control methods reduce to spatter occurred by instantaneous short circuiting,. but these methods is drawback that no reduce spatter occurred by arc reignition. In this paper the previous arc reignition current control method for welding performance improvement of inverter arc welding machine is studied and compared the various current control methods with the previous arc reignition current control method.

In this paper, the welding machine with high-frequency inverter is described, which can save energy more than conventional ones with low efficiency. Although for part of welding machine of special type such as MIG, TIG, products were developed by inverter, but it is poor that applied to ordinary ac arc welding machine. Difference between conventional AC arc welding machine and the proposed welding machine is investigated econimically and constructionally. Untill now, kinds of welding machine and its characteristics were also described. The comparison of the proposed welding machine and the conventional is presented in the way of output control.

According to the adoption of inverter circuit topology for welding machine area, the improvement of welding performance can be achieved. However conventional CO2 inverter arc welding machine uses the constant voltage characteristics. So the metal transfer is performed under unoptimum condition in the sence of spatter generation. In this paper the new control algorithm is proposed for welding machine, which is the instantaneous output current control method using single chip microprocessor. But the optimum waveform of welding current is still uncertain, as a first step for figuring out the optimized waveforms, this study was performed. And as a result of performance test of the proposed system, it was demonstrated that all of the waveform variation parameter could be set individually and the generated spatter is reduced compared to conventional inverter arc welding machine.

Recently, welding technology of nonferrous metals which were difficult to implement by arc welder has become available through digitalization of arc welding machine. Among them, the welding quality improvement of aluminum welding is very noticeable. These results increase the arc stability by controlling arc current and voltage waveform precisely, and control wire feed speed by synchronizing with arc current which the feed rate of filler wire is controlled by a precise motor control of servomotor and not by a simple constant speed feeding. Not only through the hardware digitalization of arc welding machine but also through advance of software of arc welding, it became possible to implement a certain level of welding quality by a simple operation. These led to CMT welding process implementation which requires low heat input than current arc welding and highly increased the applicability of the aluminum welding.

최근 전력전자기술 및 인버터 회로의 다양한 제어기법의 발달에 따라서 용접기 분야에서의 용접성능 향상에 관한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있으며 특히{{{{ { CO}_{2 } }} 아크 용접기의 경우 용접성능을 좌우하는 스패터 발생을 최소화 하는 기법이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 그러나 현재까지는 용접기의 출력전압을 정전압으로 제어하는 방식을 사용함에 따라 용접기의 금속이행과정을 임의로 제어하는 것이 불가능하였고, 특히 스패터가 다량으로 발생하는 저전류영역의 금속이행과정인 단락이행에서의 스패터 저감을 기대하기가 어려웠다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 인버터 출력전류의 파형제어기법을 사용하여 인버터 아크 용접기의 출력전류를 순시적으로 제어함에 의하여 스패터 저감, 단락주기의 안정화 및 순간단락현상 감소의 측면에서 용접성능을 개선위한 연구를 수행하였고 이상의 연구에 대한 결과를 제시하였고, 또한 인버터 아크 용접기의 AC/DC 전력변환장치로 SMR(Switched Mode Rectifier)를 사용하여 시스템을 단위역율로 운전하였으며 입력전류의 저차 고조파 억제효과를 얻을 수 있었다.
