In this research, a study of the influence of arc welding
parameters on the thermal cycle was conducted, where the thermal
cycle within the welded plate of stainless steel 304L by plasma arc
welding (PAW) with weld-on-plate was measured using
the
rmocouples for several welding parameters (intensity of the
welding current, welding velocity, flow rate of plasma gas) and
comparing the influence of this parameters on the thermal cycle
within the plate.
This research seeks to localize the technology of plasma arc welding (PAW), the best
alternative against tungsten arc welding (TIG). So a quantitative comparison between these
two technologies has been made, according to the particular case that is
DC current.
involving heat efficiency, heat input, tensile strength, relative elongation at fracture, micro
hardness and angular distortion.
