The influence of welding parameters on weld characteristics in electric arc stud welding

Abstract

In this paper the influence of welding parameters on weld geometry during stud welding (Drawn Arc Welding process with ceramic ferrule) on steel plate and pipe is analyzed as a variation of weld penetration. The changes of weld characteristics are also confirmed through measurements of HV0,2 across the weld joint and analysis of hardened zone.
