description | This paper presents an original design of a test apparatus for calorimetric measurements of arc efficiency η and melting efficiency η(m) in welding processes. The construction and principle of operation of a new flow calorimeter are described, as well as the method for determining the η and η(m) values in the process of the surface melting of aluminium–silicon alloy casting surfaces with a concentrated heat flux generated by the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) method. The results obtained indicate the advisability of using calorimetric testing to assess the arc efficiency of welding processes. It was demonstrated that changing the welding current and arc scanning speed, as well as changing the chemical composition of the silumin, has an effect on the arc efficiency value η. This has the effect of introducing a different amount of heat into the area of the heated material. The consequence of this is a change in the value of the melting efficiency η(m), which results in a change in the width and depth of the surface melting areas, through this, the cooling conditions of the material. As is well known, this will affect the microstructure of the welds and the width and microstructure of the heat-affected zone, and thus the performance of the welded joints. |
