Abstract: A welding-type system includes a power supply configured to control preheating of an electrode wire. A controller is configured to receive a plurality of power values corresponding to a power output of the power supply and calculate an arc power value corresponding to an arc condition at the preheated electrode wire based on a rate of change of the plurality of power values. A target power output value is determined based on the calculated arc power value, and the power output is adjusted based on the determined target power value.

Abstract: Systems and methods of a laser welding device are disclosed. The laser welding device includes a laser generator configured to generate welding-type lasing power. A lens focuses the welding-type lasing power at a focal point on a workpiece to generate a puddle during a welding-type operation. A wire feeder is configured to feed wire to the puddle generated by the laser generator. A laser scanner controls the lens to move the focal point of the welding-type lasing power in multiple dimensions over the workpiece during the welding-type operation. In some examples, the feed wire is used in an additive manufacturing process.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to address issues associated with welding with cored wires. In certain processes, a welding wire may “stick” or fuse to a contact tip. To mitigate the negative effects of a wire fusing to a contact tip, a double pulse waveform is applied. A first pulse is applied at a first current level above a threshold current level required to transfer a ball of molten welding wire in a peak phase, and a second pulse is applied in the background phase at a second current level below the threshold current level to limit and/or eliminate fusion between the wire and the contact tip. In examples, the second current level is sufficient to dislodge a spot weld between the welding wire and the welding torch yet insufficient to transfer a ball of molten welding wire.

Abstract: Provided is a system for providing pulsed arc starting phase, where the system comprises power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type power and output the welding-type power, and control circuitry configured to control the power conversion circuitry to output the welding-type power. The control circuitry is configured to control the power conversion circuitry to output a plurality of welding current pulses during at least a portion of one or both of a run-in period or a ramp period for wire feeding of a welding wire ends, where each of the plurality of welding current pulses is associated with a respective pulse period and a respective pulse duty cycle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a metal-cored welding wire, and, more specifically, to a metal-cored aluminum welding wire for arc welding, such as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). A disclosed metal-cored aluminum welding wire includes a metallic sheath and a granular core disposed within the metallic sheath. The granular core includes a first alloy having a plurality of elements, wherein the first alloy has a solidus that is lower than each of the respective melting points of the plurality of elements of the first alloy. The granular core comprises aluminum metal matrix nano-composites (Al-MMNCs) that comprise an aluminum metal matrix and ceramic nanoparticles.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling arc/short between a wire and a work piece is described. A current path parallel to the wire/work is provided. The voltage drop across the parallel path can be preset, to limit the wire/work voltage, or it can be controlled to a desired level. The control can be in response to feedback.
