Temperature Distribution in Welding Arc: Impact on Weld Quality and Performance
The welding arc temperature ranges from 5000 K to 30,000 K. It depends on the plasma type and current. Spectral radiation measures this temperature. Energy losses happen through heat conduction, convection, and radiation. In argon gas, radiation loss is about 20%, while in other gases, it is under 10%. High temperatures at the arc center … Read more
