Abstract:

Abstract： Underwater hyperbaric dry gas metal arc welding (GMAW) welding technology is one of the key technologies for the maintenance of underwater equipment, such as shipping, ocean platform, seabed pipeline. To get high quality and high efficiency underwater welding technology parameters, the effect of hyperbaric ambient on GMAW is of important practical significance. The characteristics of the weld appearance and the GMAW process were studied at ambient pressure from 0.1 MPa to 1.0 MPa by using a highspeed camera and a Hannover analyser. The causes of weld spatter and the characteristics of weld appearance were analyzed. The experiment shows that as the number of the spatters increase, the weld joint becomes narrower and worsens gradually as the ambient pressure increases.
