Cable-type welding wire（CWW）CO2 welding is an innovative process arc welding with high quality,high efficiency and energy saving,in which CWW is used as consumable electrode.The CWW is composed of seven wires with a diameter of 1.2mm.One is in the center,while others uniformly distribute around it.The diameter of twisted wire is up to 3.6mm,which can increase the deposition rate significantly.With continual wire-feeding and melting of CWW,the formed rotating arc improved welding quality obviously.The arc behavior and droplet transfer were observed by the electrical signal waveforms and corresponding synchronous images,based on the high speed digital camera and electrical signal system.The results showed that the shape of welding arc changed from bell arc to beam arc with the increase of welding parameter.The droplet transfer mode changed from repelled transfer,globular transfer to projected transfer in turn.Droplet transfer frequency increased from 18.17 Hz to 119.05 Hz,while the droplet diameter decreased from 1.5times to 0.3times of the CWW diameter.

A better understanding of droplet formation and dripping behavior would be useful in the efficient removal of impurity elements and nonmetallic inclusions from liquid metals. In the present work, we developed a transparent experimental apparatus to study the mechanisms of droplet formation and the effects of filling ratio on droplet behavior during the electroslag remelting（ESR） process. A high-speed camera was used to clearly observe, at small time scales, the droplet formation and dripping phenomenon at the slag/metal interface during a stable ESR process. The results illustrate that a two-stage process for droplet formation and dripping occurs during the ESR process and that the droplet diameter exhibits a parabolic distribution with increasing filling ratio because of the different shape and thermal state of the electrode tip. This work also confirms that a relatively large filling ratio reduces electricity consumption and improves ingot quality.
