Study on the Temperature of the Bridge Wire in the Initiator Used in Nuclear Explosion Valve

This paper established the mathematical model of bridge wire temperature rise under direct current condition and gave the solution. It computed bridge wire temperature by using the thermal-electric coupling method provided by ANSYS-Workbench finite element analysis software. In the end, the temperature bridge wire applied to different electric current was measured by the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement method. The result shows that the ANSYS simulation results are in agreement with the theoretical calculation and the experimental results. It is feasible to compute bridge wire temperature of initiator by using ANSYS-Workbench software, and it is an important method to analyze complex structure of pyrotechnics.

Effect of the wire preheating transfer in GMAW temperature on the metal with thick wire

A hot-wire gas metal arc welding （GMAIV） method using a TIG arc to preheat the wire was proposed and a corresponding experimental system was developed. The images of molten metal droplets in GMA W with thick-wire diameter of 3.2 mm were captured by a high-speed camera, and the influence of the wire temperature on metal transfer was analyzed by measurements of droplet radius and transfer frequency. Two metal transfer modes were mentioned in this paper： the short- circuit transfer and the globular transfer mode. The results demonstrate that the wire temperature significantly impacts the metal transfer mode, droplet size and transfer rate at a certain welding current range. And with the increasing wire temperature, the change of metal transfer mode was observed. By increasing the temperature of the welding wire, the droplet size decreases and the droplet transfer frequency increases accordingly. In addition, it is important that the drop spray mode, which hardly occurs in GMAW with steel wire, was obtained by means of increasing the wire temperature.

Prediction of wire transfer behaviors in laser hot wire welding

With preheating wire by resistance heat, laser hot wire welding improves process stability and wire deposition efficiency, which gives broad potential applications in sugracing and narrow gap welding. It is a critical issue to control the temperature of preheated wire in this process. The temperature which is so high that the wire fuses outside molten pool or so low that the wire cannot melt timely in the molten pool, results in poor wire transfer stability and bad weld formation. This paper is purposed to calculate the wire temperature for the prediction of wire transfer behavior under various welding parameters. A heat conduction model is set up. Heat sources of the wire include resistance heat and reflected laser, and the heat source of molten pool is laser. The calculated temperature of wire part outside the molten pool is verified by infrared ratio temperature measurement. The calculated temperature of wire part in the molten pool is verified by measurement of the molten pool size. Analyzing the wire temperature and welding process observed by the high speed video imaging, the temperature criteria of wire transfer behaviors are obtained. Thus, numerical simulation of the wire temperature can be used to predict wire transfer behaviors in laser hot wire welding.
