    Shielding gas for arc welding {MULTI-PURPOSE, MULTI-TRANSFER, MULTI-POSITION SHIELDING GAS FOR ARC WELDING}
    In shielded metal arc welding, gas shielded arc welding, flux-filled arc welding, composite-filled arc welding, it is well known in the welding art that shielding gases can affect the welding process and the quality of the final weldment. .
    In these processes, it was common to use a shielding gas whose main component is argon, which is an inert gas. Argon is mixed with different mixtures of different gases selected from the group containing oxygen, carbon dioxide and helium. For shielding gases, a publication published by the American Welding Society, "ANSI / AWSC5.10-94," published in "ANSI / AWSC5.10-94", discusses the use of shielding gases for welding and plasma arc cutting. It is described in detail under the heading "Recommended Practices For Shielding Gases For Welding And Plasma Arc Cutting."
    The following welding processes, in particular gas shielded arc welding (GMAW) and flux-filled arc welding (FCAW), are published in the fourth and fifth chapters of the eighth edition of the Welding Handbook, published by the American Welding Society. Each is described in detail.
    According to the welding handbook, it is basically that metal is transferred from a consumable electrode that is a stick electrode or a continuous wire to a pool of welds to form a joint between the prepared base metal to be joined. Various shielding gas mixtures have been used in the welding process involved.
    A gas shielded arc welding (GMAW) process is a type of arc welding process that utilizes arc generation between a continuous filler metal electrode and a weld pool. This process is carried out using the shielding action provided by the gas mixture without applying pressure. The shielding gas mixture is based on argon added with one or more of oxygen, carbon dioxide, helium or hydrogen.
    Flux filled arc welding (FCAW) processes include an arc between the continuous filler metal electrode and the weld pool. This process utilizes a method of shielding the flux contained in the tubular electrode, with or without pressure, with or without additional shielding action by externally supplied gases. For flux filled arc welding using an external shielding gas, the shielding gas is based on argon having one or more elements selected from the group consisting of helium, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
    Composite packed arc welding (CCAW) is an arc welding process that uses a tubular wire rod filled with metal powder at its center as an electrode material. This process also relies on the use of shielding gases to protect the arc and weld pool.
    Various industrial gas suppliers and welding gas manufacturers provide a number of shielding gas mixtures.
    In particular, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. is named Astec HP for high arc transition rates and high metal deposition in gas metal arc welding processes performed at flat or horizontal positions. Gas mixtures are commercially available. The composition provided by the company contains 65% argon, 25% helium, 10% carbon dioxide. The particular shielding gas mixture has the disadvantage that it is difficult to control the molten metal during welding in a flat or non-horizontal position.
    Moreover, delicate short-circuit arc transitions are not easily achieved with this mixture.
    The present invention relates to gas metal arc welding, flux cored arc welding, composite cored arc welding processes, and in particular to shielding gas compositions used in these processes. will be.
    It has been found that a single shielding gas mixture that can be used for gas shielded arc welding, flux filled arc welding, composite filled arc welding in any manner of metal transition and welding position is 62-74% argon, 17-23 in volume ratio. Gas mixture containing% helium, 9-16% carbon dioxide. In a preferred embodiment, the shielding gas contains 68% argon, 20% helium, 12% carbon dioxide by volume.
    Therefore, one aspect of the present invention relates to a shielding gas mixture for arc welding containing 62-74% argon, 17-23% helium, 9-16% carbon dioxide, by volume.
    In another aspect, the present invention relates to a gas shielded arc welding process, wherein the arc is maintained between the continuous filler metal electrode and the weld pool, wherein the shielding of the arc generated between the filler metal and the weld pool is by volume ratio of 68%. And a gas mixture containing argon, 20% helium, 12% carbon dioxide.
    In another aspect, the invention relates to a flux filled arc welding process wherein the arc is maintained between a continuous filler metal electrode made of a metal surrounding the flux material and the weld pool, wherein the shielding of the arc is by volume, 68%. Argon, 20% helium, 12% carbon dioxide.
    In another aspect, the invention relates to a composite packed arc welding process wherein the arc is maintained between the filler metal electrode and the weld pool, where the shielding of the arc is by volume, 68% argon, 20% helium, 12 With a gas mixture containing% carbon dioxide.
    The invention also relates to a gas shielded arc welding process wherein the metal is short curcuiting transfer, globular transfer, thermal spray transfer, pulse thermal spray transfer, high current density thermal spray transfer, high current density rotary thermal spray transfer. Or high current density non-rotational spray transition, and the shielding gas to shield the arc generated during the process contains essentially 68% argon, 20% helium, 12% carbon dioxide in volume ratio, have.
    As is well known in the art, users of various welding processes such as gas shielded arc welding (GMAW), flux filled arc welding (FCAW), composite packed arc welding (CCAW) can utilize these processes to create acceptable welds. It is common to require and have different shielding gas mixtures.
    The present invention is centered on the preparation of shielding gas mixtures exhibiting metallurgical fusion characteristics of rapid filling, rapid follow and rapid cooling during the welding process and the application of the shielding gas mixture to various processes.
    Therefore, when applying gas shielded arc welding for both low carbon steel and mild steel, the shielding gas has the three characteristics described above and also works for flux filled wire arc welding and composite filled arc welding, and meets the application standards of many government agencies. It was necessary to prepare a mixture.
    Through several trials, a nominal composition of shielded gas containing 68% argon, 20% helium and 12% carbon dioxide in volume fractions was used for gas shielded arc welding, flux filled arc welding and composite filled arc welding. When used, it has been found that all three of the above-described characteristics yield good results.
    The present invention essentially comprises a shielding gas mixture of compositions containing 62-74% argon, 17-23% helium, 9-16% carbon dioxide in volume ratio. Various components can be adjusted to adapt to other welding conditions required for the application of gas shielded arc welding, flux filled arc welding or composite packed arc welding.
    As a first attempt, good results were seen using a mixture containing 67% argon, 20% helium and 13% carbon dioxide. After the first test, the preferred composition was adjusted by volume to a composition containing 68% argon, 20% helium and 12% carbon dioxide.
    By volume ratio, a mixture of this composition containing 68% argon, 20% helium and 12% carbon dioxide was tested using various processes and various welding conditions. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
