Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective gas for arc welding of aluminum and aluminum alloys.
  • arc welding is understood as meaning all variations of arc welding with a consumable or non-consumable electrode using a protective gas, in particular metal inert gas (MIG), metal active gas (MAG) and tungsten inert gas welding processes (TIG).
  • MIG metal inert gas
  • MAG metal active gas
  • TIG tungsten inert gas welding processes
  • the special features of welding aluminum and aluminum alloys result from the property of aluminum to form an oxide layer on the surface immediately upon contact with atmospheric oxygen.
  • the formation of the firmly adhering oxide on the surface is the result of the base character of aluminum.
  • the purpose of the welding protection gas is to protect both the weld pool and the consumable filler from oxidation by atmospheric oxygen and at the same time to increase the electrical conductivity of the electrical arc path between the electrode and the workpiece.
  • Argon or an argon-helium gas mixture is usually used as protective gas. Although the latter are more expensive, the mixture component helium leads due to a hotter arc and a more favorable energy distribution in the arc to a better penetration behavior and allows higher welding speeds.
  • helium can contribute to the reduction or avoidance of pores and reduce the consumption of filler metal.
  • the problem with shielding gas mixtures containing a high proportion of helium is the high cost of helium, the tendency of helium to expand the arc, and the increasing instability of the arc with increasing helium content.
  • Admixtures in the two- to three-digit vpm range (0.001% to 0.1%) are often sufficient to achieve measurable effects.
  • a protective gas mixture of argon and one or more components from the group helium, hydrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide with an admixture of 80 to at most 250 vpm of nitrogen, preferably 120 to 180 vpm of nitrogen, known in the TIG -, MIG, MAG and plasma welding of steel materials, copper, nickel and aluminum can be used.
  • the inert gas leads to a Einbrandintensivitation without deteriorating the Zwangslagen s.

Based on the approach that helium in the shielding gas on the one hand makes it difficult to switch the polarity of the tungsten electrode from emission to reception due to its low promotion of gas ionization compared to argon, but on the other hand increases the penetration depth and compactness of the weld bead in TIG welding of aluminum, should said protective gas mixture, the positive effect of helium are utilized without significantly affecting the arc stability or the welding rate.
