TL;DR: In recent years, major advances have taken place in our understanding of welding processes and welded materials because of the complexity of fusion welding processes, solution of many important contemporary problems in fusion welding requires an interdisciplinary approach as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: In recent years, major advances have taken place in our understanding of welding processes and welded materials Because of the complexity of fusion welding processes, solution of many important contemporary problems in fusion welding requires an interdisciplinary approach Current problems and issues in fusion welding are reviewed Solution of these problems, apart from being a contribution to the advancement of science, is also necessary for science-based tailoring of composition, structure, and properties of the welded materials

TL;DR: Explosion welding (EXW) is one of the joining methods consisting of a solid state welding process in which controlled explosive detonation on the surface of a metal is produced to remove away the impurities on the metal surfaces as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Explosion welding (EXW) is one of the joining methods consisting of a solid state welding process in which controlled explosive detonation on the surface of a metal. During the collision, a high velocity jet is produced to remove away the impurities on the metal surfaces. Flyer plate collides with base plate resulting in a bonding at the interface of metals. The metal plates are joined at an internal point under the influence of a very high pressure and causes considerable local plastic deformation at the interface in which metallurgical bonding occurs in nature and even stronger than the parent metals. Similar and dissimilar materials can be joined by explosive welding. In this paper, after detection the theories of welding and wave formation, experimental research and numerical studies on explosive welding are reviewed for the last four decades. Also, future developments in explosive welding are predicted and criticized in an outlook.

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified comprehensive model was developed to simulate the transport phenomena occurring during the gas metal arc welding process, where an interactive coupling between arc plasma; melting of the electrode; droplet formation, detachment, transfer, and impingement onto the workpiece; and weld pool dynamics all were considered.
Abstract: A unified comprehensive model was developed to simulate the transport phenomena occurring during the gas metal arc welding process. An interactive coupling between arc plasma; melting of the electrode; droplet formation, detachment, transfer, and impingement onto the workpiece; and weld pool dynamics all were considered. Based on the unified model, a thorough investigation of the plasma arc characteristics during the gas metal arc welding process was conducted. It was found that the droplet transfer and the deformed weld pool surface have significant effects on the transient distributions of current density, arc temperature and arc pressure, which were normally assumed to be constant Gaussian profiles.

TL;DR: In this article, the high-frequency inductor or transformer disposed in the welding circuit and necessary for the injection of the highfrequency current has a core of ferrite material or powdered iron and is arranged to saturate at normal welding currents so as to offer little impedance to the flow of welding current.
Abstract: 722,494. Supply systems for welding arcs. AIR REDUCTION CO., Inc. Dec. 8, 1952 [Dec. 28, 1951], No. 31074/52. Drawings to Specification. Class 38 (4). To permit the employment of a relatively low high-frequency (say 50 to 500 kcs. per sec.) current for starting and stabilizing a D.C. or low-frequency A.C. welding arc, the highfrequency inductor or transformer disposed in the welding circuit and necessary for the injection of the high-frequency current has a core of ferrite material or powdered iron and is arranged to saturate at normal welding currents so as to offer little impedance to the flow of welding current, but to be unsaturated by the high-frequency currents alone, so as to offer high impedance to these-and thus provide good injection of high-frequency currentwhen the arc extinguishes. The high-frequency generator may comprise a push-pull valve oscillator normally cut off by external bias, but triggered into oscillation by a voltage pulse induced in a winding of the injection transformer upon interruption of the flow of welding current.
