Questions? • Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.): • From the chart showing the effect on metal transfer by changes in shielding gas it is seen that an addition of 2% oxygen to tan argon GMAW using DCEP caused the arc to stop wandering and have good spray transfer. Can you explain from a physical point of view what might have happened?
Processes Using Constant Voltage Processes Using Constant Current • GMAW • FCAW • SAW • Processes that use constant velocity wire feeding • SMAW • GTAW • PAW • Processes where humans control arc length by hand
Questions? • Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.): • In the V-I Characteristic Curves, there are two places where the Arc current and voltage are the same as the power supply current and voltage, one point is stable and the other is unstable. Why is the unstable point unstable?
Heads Up Next Class Period You will Have a Homework Assignment which will require the use of an Excel Spreadsheet. You should review your knowledge of Excel or click on the digging deeper tutorial. Excel Tutorial
