ABSTRACT:
A gas-metal-arc welding method is provided for high speed, high melting rate, substantially spatter-free, all-position welding. The method is particularly useful for out-of-position welding, that is, to produce vertical, inclined and overhead welds. A consumable wire electrode is held within and fed through the tubular contact tip of a continuous feed type welding gun having a tubular nozzle surrounding and extending beyond the tip. A shielding gas, formed of unique ratios of a minor proportion of a carbon dioxide and oxygen mixture combined with a major proportion of an argon and helium mixture, is flowed in a substantially longitudinally laminar pattern between the nozzle and contact tip and along the electrode extension from the tip. The contact tip is cooled, and sufficiently high power electrical current is passed through the contact tip and electrode extension to produce the arc and to melt the end of the electrode into molten drops for short-circuiting (e.g., low current) or for spray (e.g., higher current) transfer of the drops to the weld deposit. The electrode extension is pre-heated by maintaining a long electrode extension or stick-out beyond the contact tip end, with a substantial portion of the extension recessed within the nozzle.
