Variable polarity plasma arc welding of high strength aluminium alloys

The VPP A W process has been evaluated and optimised for the joining of high strength aluminium alloys AA-2024 T351, AA-7150 W51 and AA-7150 T651. The initial experimentation was performed with conventional AC-GTAW power supplies with limited results. Failure of the control logic to stabilise the we...
