摘要: 采用基于反向再燃弧電壓產生電路的變極性焊接電源為試驗平臺,研究了電源設備及其控制參數、焊接回路電纜寄生電感和焊接工藝參數對變極性焊接電流換向過程的影響規律. 試驗結果表明,提高反向再燃弧電壓值能夠提升變極性過程的電流變化速率,而較大的焊接回路電纜寄生電感會降低電流變化速率,同時降低變極性結束時的電流值,不利于變極性過程的電弧可靠再引燃和穩定燃燒. 初始焊接電流越小,則變極性過程結束時的電流值越小,增加共同導通時間可以提高變極性結束時的電流值,但同時降低變極性開始時的電流大小. 因此小電流變極性焊接時可采用較大的反向穩壓值并適當增加共同導通時間,以增強變極性過程中的電弧穩定性.Abstract: In the current inversion process of variable-polarity arc welding of aluminum alloy, drastic changes in electron and ion concentrations in arc space may lead to the failure of current commutation and arc reignition, thus affecting the arc burning stability and weld formation quality. The novel reverse arc reignition voltage-generating circuit will produce a stable reverse voltage during the current polarity inversion process. In this circuit, the value of the reverse voltage remains unchanged with the variation in the base welding current, and thus can better meet the requirement of reverse arc reignition voltage for current inversion. Through the use of the variablepolarity welding power supply with novel reverse arc reignition voltage-generating circuit as the experimental platform, the influence of the power equipment and its control parameters, the parasitic inductance of the cable in the output welding loop, and the welding process parameters on the current commutation process of variable-polarity arc welding was investigated. The experimental results show that increasing the value of the reverse arc reignition voltage can increase the current variation rate in the polarity inversion process. Contrastingly, a large parasitic inductance of the cable in the output welding loop will reduce the current variation rate and the current value at the end of the polarity inversion process, which is detrimental by the reliable arc reignition and stable arc burning in the polarity inversion process. The lower the initial welding current is, the lower the current value at the end of the polarity inversion process. Increasing the common conduction time can increase the current value at the end of the polarity inversion process, but decrease the current value at the beginning of this process. Therefore, to improve the arc stability in the polarity inversion process, a large value of the reverse arc reignition voltage and an appropriate increase in common conduction time can be used in low-current variable-polarity welding. All of the conclusions previously presented can provide reference and basis for the selection and adjustmentof the power equipment and its control parameters for variable-polarity arc welding under various process parameters.
