A method to combine the ultrasonic waves to the welding process using arc excited ultrasonic emission, called arc ultrasonic, was high frequency modulation of the arc plasma. The effects of arc ultrasonic on the weld including the fusion zone, the partially melted zone and the heat affected zone are described. The arc ultrasonic energy changes the weld microstructure. In the fusion zone, the primary dendrite arm spacing decreases significantly and more acicular ferrite appears. In the partially melted zone, a large amount of fine grains appear. In the heat affected zone, the width of the tempered zone increases with increasing modulation frequency and the microstructure is refined. The results show that arc ultrasonic is a new and effective way for improving weld quality.展开更多
