Abstract
A method of consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding characterized in that a shield gas consisting of an inert gas is fed toward a consumable electrode and an addition gas consisting of a mixture of oxidizing gas and inert gas toward an outer edge of welding pool. Further, there is provided a welding torch for use in the method. Thus, in the welding of steel material in accordance with GMA welding technique, the dissolved oxygen concentration of the weld metal can be reduced to 100 ppm or less, and while maintaining arc stability, desirable bead formation can be attained.
Claims6
A consumable electrode-based gas-shielded arc welding method, wherein a shielding gas that includes an inert gas is supplied to a consumable electrode, and an additive gas of a mixed gas that includes an oxidative gas and an inert gas is supplied to a peripheral portion of a molten pool.
A welding torch for consumable electrode-based gas-shielded arc welding, the welding torch comprising:
- a case;
- a tip body that is provided inside the case;
- a tip that is connected to an end part of the tip body;
- and
- a nozzle that surrounds the tip,
- wherein a space is provided between the case and the tip body, the end part of the space forms a blast nozzle for a shielding gas, and a plurality of blast pores for an additive gas are provided radially around the end part of the case and inside the nozzle.
