The physical process of underwater wet flux cored arc welding (FCAW) was visually sensed and investigated. An image capture system was developed to monitor the bubbles, droplets, and arc behaviors via avoiding the serious disturbances from the harsh water environment. The complex dynamic behaviors of the bubbles’ evolution were de scribed and explained according to their transient images. The acquired clear images of droplets showed the typical metal transfer mode, i.e., the repelled globular transfer with large droplet size and low transfer frequency. Subsequently, the welding arc characteris tics were examined, revealing it was compressed by the water environment and had spe cial intensive drifting and deviation behaviors on the cathode spot. High electric poten tial gradient and current density of the arc were disclosed and possible reasons were given. Finally, the uneven and asymmetric weld joint appearance was probably caused by the special welding process under water, especially the unstable droplet transfer. C. B.
