Microprocessor Control of Arc Length During Gas Metal Arc Welding

本研究的目的是开发一种用于自动气体保护焊系统弧长的微处理器控制的理论模型和有效的控制算法。对系统的性能进行了实验评估。弧长的控制很重要，因为它会极大地影响油井的质量。商务部表示，国民生产总值的一半以这样或那样的方式与焊接和连接过程有关。气体保护焊是发展最快的弧焊工艺之一。提出的这一方法的发展将对自动气体保护焊的发展产生重大影响。

This study's objective is to develop a theoretical model and efficient control algorithm for microprocessor control of the arc length in automated gas metal arc welding systems. The system performance is to experimentally evaluated. Control of the arc length is important since it can greatly affect the quality of the well produced. The Department of Commerce indicates that half of the gross national product is associated in one way or another with welding and joining processes. Gas metal arc welding is among the fastest growing arc welding processes. Development of this methodology proposed should have a substantial impact on the advancement of automatice gas metal arc welding.
