Effects of High Frequency Current in Welding Aluminum Alloy 6061 Cracking has been found to occur frequently in the heat-affected zone of aluminum alloy 6061 weld-ments during TIG (tungsten inert gas) ac weld-ing. The cracks appeared to be
Abstract Uncontrolled high frequency current causes cracking in heat-affected zone of aluminum alloy 6061 weldments during tungsten inert gas ac welding. Cracking developed when an improperly adjusted superimposed high frequency current was agitating
GTAW Welding Aluminum with Alternating Current - High Frequency Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process utilizes heat generated by an electric arc maintained between the workpiece and a nonconsumable ungsten electrode. The arc is enveloped by a
Riding the right wave in aluminum welding AC GTAW waveform controls, options optimize arc performance By John Luck May 19, 2009 increase control of the arc, and boost travel speeds. Setting the frequency from 120 to 200 Hz provides an ideal frequency
2. Aluminum welding can cause electrical shock. Aluminum weldments can result in electrical shock just like steel weldments but for different reasons. In steel welding, a high-frequency arc starting option is initially employed and then eventually turned
HIGH FREQUENCY WELDING OF ALUMINUM H.N. Udall (Deceased) Robert K. Nichols, P.E. T.P. Rev 2. March 1999 HIGH FREQUENCY WELDING OF ALUMINUM By H.N. Udall and R. K. Nichols, PE Thermatool Corp. Aluminum, as well as many other non-ferrous materials, has been successfully welded by the High Frequency method for many
The high-frequency arc is an extremely low current arc. I have seen welders light the high-frequency only on their fingers with no harm done. As others have said, the high-frequency start is quite useful to create a very soft start with maximum
Similarly vapour degreasing materials also breakdown chemically under the effect of UV radiation from the arc. There fore arc welding, particularly high current GTAW and carbon arc welding, should not be carried out in the vicinity of a vapour degreasing

Physical effects In both conductive and inductive HF, the principle is based on the fact that a current flows on the pipe surface and the band edges (Fig. 1). This current flows on the surface of the pipe via the edges of the strip to the
Page 1 Ultrasonic welding is a solid-state process which produces a weld by introduction of high-frequency vibration while weldment is held under moderay high clamping forces. weld is pro-duced without significant melting of base materials.

Also I am woundering about transmission of high frequency through a building where there might be sensitive electronic equipment in use when one is TIG welding. What types of equipment might be effected and what could one do to minimize the effects or is there very little likelihood of a problem
