Welding Handbook will address welding materials and applications These volumes represent the practical application of the principles discussed in the chapters of Volume 1, Welding Science and Technology, published in 2001 This peer-reviewed volume of the Welding Handbook reflects a tremendous leap forward in welding technology While many basics of the welding processes have remained substantially the same, the precise control of welding parameters, advanced techniques, complex applications and new materials discussed in this updated volume are dramatically changed from those described in previous editions In particular, advancements in digital or computerized control of welding parameters have resulted in consistently high weld quality for manual and mechanized welding and the repeatability necessary for successful automated operations Chapter of Welding Processes, Part is a compilation of information on arc welding power sources Subsequent chapters present specific information on shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, gas metal arc welding, flux cored arc welding, submerged arc welding, plasma arc welding, electrogas welding, arc stud welding,

Supplementary Reading List CHAPTER1 ARC WELDING POWER SOURCES CHAPTER ARC WELD1NG POWER SOURCES INTRODUCTION This chapter presents a general overview of the electrical power sources used for arc welding It explores the many types of welding power sources available to meet the electrical requirements of the various arc welding processes Welding has a long and rich history Commercial arc welding is over a hundred years old, and scores of processes and variations have been developed Over the years, power sources have been developed or modified by equipment manufacturers in response to the changes and improvements in these processes As welding processes continue to evolve, power sources continue to provide the means of controlling the welding current, voltage, and power This chapter provides updated information on the basic electrical technologies, circuits, and functions designed into frequently used welding power sources Topics covered in this chapter include the following: The volt-ampere (V-A) characteristics required for common welding processes, Basic electrical technologies and terminology used in power sources, Simplified explanations of commonly used power source circuits, and An introduction to useful national and international standards A basic knowledge of electrical power sources will provide the background for a more complete understanding of the welding processes presented in the other chapters of this book FUNDAMENTALS This section introduces the fundamental functions of welding power sources and the concepts of constant- voltage (CV) and constant-current (CC) characteristics required for welding processes The voltage supplied by power companies for industrial purposes-120 volts (V), 230 V, 380 V, or 480 Vis too high for use in arc welding Therefore, the first function of an arc welding power source is to reduce the high input or line voltage to a suitable output voltage range, 20 V to 80 V A transformer, a solid-state inverter, or an electric motor-generator can be used to reduce the utility power to terminal or open-circuit voltage appropriate for arc welding Alternatively, a power source for arc welding may derive its power from a prime mover such as an internal combustion engine The rotating power from an internal combustion engine is used to rotate a generator or an alternator for the source of electrical current Welding transformers, inverters, or generator/ alternators provide high-amperage welding current, generally ranging from 30 amperes (A) to 1500 A The output of a power source may be alternating current (ac), direct current (dc) or both It may be constant current, constant voltage, or both Welding power sources may also provide pulsed output of voltage or current Some power source configurations deliver only certain types of current For example, transformer power sources deliver ac only Transformer-rectifier power sources can deliver either alternating or direct current, as selected by the operator Electric motor-generator power sources usually deliver dc output A motoralternator delivers ac, or when equipped with rectifiers, dc Power sources can also be classified into subcategories For example, a gas tungsten arc welding power source might be identified as transformer-rectifier, constant-current, ac/dc A complete description of any power source should include welding current rating, duty cycle rating, service classification, and input power MAJOR SUBJECT INDEX Ninth Edition Volume Chapter 689 Eighth Edition Volume Chapter 4 10 18 14 1 1 16 2 15 1, 2, 1, 4
