On the Visualization of Gas Metal Arc Welding Plasma and the Relationship Between Arc Length and Voltage

In this article, the camera settings for high-speed imaging of the arc, metal transfer, and weld pool in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) are investigated. The results show that by only changing camera exposure times and the selection of narrow bandpass filters, images that reveal features of the arc su...
