The present invention relates to a consumable electrode type arc welding control method and a consumable electrode type arc welding apparatus that perform welding by alternately generating a short circuit state and an arc state while feeding a welding wire as a consumable electrode.
In recent years, in the welding industry, there has been an increasing demand for higher welding speed and reduced spatter for improving productivity. In addition, consumable electrode type arc welding equipment and arc welding control methods have been devised to meet these requirements. However, no arc welding control method has been devised to reduce the heat input of the welding so as not to cause melting or the like during welding of thin plates.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an output waveform in a conventional arc welding control method involving a short circuit, and shows temporal changes in the wire feed speed Wf and the welding current Aw. The present invention relates to an arc welding control method in which welding is performed by alternately generating a short-circuit state and an arc state while feeding a welding wire that is a consumable electrode, and the wire feeding speed Wf periodically repeats forward feeding and reverse feeding. Thus, the wire feed motor is controlled. Then, with the control of the wire feed motor, as shown in FIG. 4, the welding output is controlled to be low during a period when the wire feed amount is small, and the welding output is controlled during a period when the wire feed amount is large. A device that controls the output to be high is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
In addition, the wire feed speed Wf is such that a forward feed and a reverse feed are performed once in a single cycle, and a short-circuit and a short-circuit release (arc generation) are performed once each. The welding control is accompanied by an arc phenomenon according to the periodic operation of the wire feed speed. And the reciprocal of the period of the preset wire feed speed becomes a short circuit frequency, and stable welding with a constant short circuit frequency can be performed.
In the conventional arc welding control method described above, for example, when a plate having a plate thickness of 0.8 mm or more is welded, stable welding is possible without melting. However, for example, when a thin plate having a thickness of 0.6 mm or less is welded, there is a problem that heat input to the base material is high and melt-off occurs, so that satisfactory welding cannot be performed.

Here, the primary side rectification unit 3 rectifies the input voltage (input AC power) input from the input power source 2 outside the arc welding apparatus 1. The switching unit 4 controls the output of the primary side rectification unit 3 to an output (AC) suitable for welding. The main transformer 5 insulates and converts (transforms) the output of the switching unit 4 into an output suitable for welding. The secondary side rectification unit 6 rectifies the output of the main transformer 5. The reactor 7 smoothes the output of the secondary side rectification unit 6 to a current suitable for welding. The welding current detection unit 8 detects a welding current. The welding voltage detector 9 detects the welding voltage. The short-circuit / arc detection unit 10 determines whether the welding state is a short-circuit state in which the wire 20 and the base material 22 are short-circuited by a welding voltage detection signal that is an output of the welding voltage detection unit 9 or a short-circuit is detected. It is determined whether the arc is open and the arc 21 is generated. Therefore, the short circuit arc determination unit determines the short circuit period or the arc period based on the detection result of the welding voltage detection unit 9 including the short circuit / arc detection unit 10. The output control unit 11 outputs a control signal to the switching unit 4 to control the welding output. The polarity reversal setting unit 12 outputs a time signal (polarity reversal control signal) for determining the timing for reversing the polarity of the welding output to the polarity switching unit based on the determination result of the short circuit arc determination unit. The polarity inversion output control unit 13 performs control to invert the polarity of the welding output based on the signal from the polarity inversion setting unit 12. The polarity inversion switching unit 14 (polarity switching unit) inverts the polarity of the welding output output by the reactor 7 based on the signal from the polarity inversion output control unit 13. In addition, the polarity switching unit switches the output of the secondary side rectification unit 6 to an output of the second polarity that is opposite to the first polarity. The wire feeding speed control unit 16 controls the feeding speed of the wire 20 fed by the wire feeding unit 19.
The wire feed speed control unit 16 includes a storage unit 17 and a wire feed speed determination unit 18. Here, the memory | storage part 17 memorize | stores the formula or table which matched the welding setting electric current, the average feeding speed of wire feeding speed, the frequency of wire feeding speed, and the amplitude of wire feeding speed. . The wire feed speed determination unit 18 is connected to the arc welding apparatus 1 and based on the welding setting current set by the welding condition setting unit 15 for setting the welding conditions, the wire feeding speed determination unit 18 determines the wire from the equation of the storage unit 17 or the table. The average feeding speed of the feeding speed, the frequency of the wire feeding speed, and the amplitude of the wire feeding speed are determined.
The welding condition setting unit 15 connected to the arc welding apparatus 1 has a function of setting welding conditions such as a welding setting current and a welding setting voltage, and also includes a first predetermined time Epta and a first setting described later. 2 has a function of adjusting the predetermined time Enter.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the wire feeding unit 19 feeds the wire 20 based on a control signal from the wire feeding speed control unit 16 of the arc welding apparatus 1. The torch 23 is provided with a chip 24 for supplying power to the wire 20. One end of the welding output of the arc welding apparatus 1 is electrically connected to the wire 20, and the other end of the welding output is electrically connected to the base material 22. When a welding output is given between the wire 20 and the base material 22, an arc 21 is generated between the wire 20 and the base material 22, and welding is performed.
The operation of the consumable electrode type arc welding apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows the change over time of the wire feed speed Wf and the welding current Aw, which is the welding output current, in waveforms.
In FIG. 2, in the short-circuit period from time t1 to time t2, first, at time t1, which is the initial time of occurrence of the short-circuit, the welding current Aw is reduced to the current Ia by current control to ensure the occurrence of the short-circuit. Thereafter, the welding current Aw is increased with a predetermined slope by current control. On the other hand, the wire feeding speed Wf always continues feeding at a constant speed regardless of time. Thereafter, at time t2, the short circuit is released, an arc is generated, and an arc period is reached. Note that the welding current energized during the short-circuit period is a first polarity welding current that flows from the wire 20 toward the base material 22.
In the arc period from time t2 to time t5, current control is performed from time t2 in the initial stage of arc generation to increase the welding current with a predetermined slope. This increase is performed until the welding current reaches the current Ib. Thereafter, at time t3, which is the time when the first predetermined time Epta has elapsed from time t2, which is the initial time of arc generation, the welding current is applied to the second polarity having a polarity opposite to the welding current of the first polarity. A first commutation that is commutated is performed. Then, after the first commutation is performed, the positive electrode current EnIa flows from the base material 22 toward the wire 20 as the second polarity welding current. Further, at time t4, which is the time when the second predetermined time Enta has elapsed from time t3, second commutation is performed in which the welding current is commutated from the second polarity to the first polarity.
The positive current EnIa output from time t3 to time t4 is a second polarity welding current in which the wire 20 side is a negative electrode and the base material 22 side is a positive electrode. At the time of welding for outputting the second polarity welding current, melting of the wire 20 is promoted, so that heat input to the base material 22 can be reduced.
Note that the depth of penetration into the base material 22 can be adjusted by changing the value of the positive electrode current EnIa and the second predetermined time Enta. For example, the current value of the positive electrode current EnIa is set higher than the value stored in advance in the polarity inversion setting unit 12 associated with the welding setting current set by the welding condition setting unit 15. That is, the absolute value of the current value of the positive electrode current EnIa is increased, and the second predetermined time Enta is set in advance in the polarity inversion setting unit 12 associated with the welding setting current set by the welding condition setting unit 15. Make it longer than the stored value. By doing so, the melting of the wire 20 can be further promoted, and the heat input to the base material 22 can be further reduced.
In addition, in order to further increase the second predetermined time Enta, shortening the first predetermined time Epta is also effective in further promoting the melting of the wire 20 and reducing the amount of heat input to the base material 22. is there.
The first predetermined time Epta, the second predetermined time Enta, and the positive electrode current EnIa are associated with the welding set current, and when the welding current is set, the associated values are determined. Yes. Here, the values of the first predetermined time Epta, the second predetermined time Enta, and the positive electrode current EnIa may be values suitable for the welding object obtained by experiments or the like. These values may be stored in the polarity inversion setting unit 12 as a table or a mathematical expression in association with the welding setting current value set by the welding condition setting unit 15.
The consumable electrode type arc welding control method in the first embodiment repeats the control of the short-circuit period and the arc period described above. Here, the operation | movement is demonstrated using FIG. 1 about the arc welding apparatus 1 for performing the above consumable electrode type arc welding control.
As shown in FIG. 1, the welding voltage detection unit 9 is connected between the output terminals 1 a of the arc welding apparatus 1 and outputs a signal corresponding to the detected voltage. The short-circuit / arc detection unit 10 determines whether the welding output voltage is equal to or higher than a certain value or less than a certain value based on a signal from the welding voltage detection unit 9. Based on the determination result, the short-circuit / arc detection unit 10 is in a short-circuit state (short-circuit period) in which the wire 20 is contact-short-circuited to the base material 22 that is the workpiece, or is not in contact with the arc 21. It is determined whether or not the arc is in an arc state (arc period) and a determination signal is output.
Next, control of the output welding current and the output welding voltage, that is, welding output control will be described. A welding setting current and a welding setting voltage are set by a welding condition setting unit 15 connected to the arc welding apparatus 1. Based on the set welding set current and welding set voltage, a welding waveform parameter is selected from an expression or a table stored in the storage unit 17. Based on the welding waveform parameter, the output control unit 11 outputs a signal for controlling the welding current and the welding voltage to the switching unit 4 using a parameter appropriate for the short-circuit period if the short-circuit period. Moreover, the output control part 11 will output the signal which controls a welding current or a welding voltage to the switching part 4 using a parameter appropriate for an arc period if it is an arc period.
The switching unit 4 inputs the output signal of the output control unit 11 and controls the welding output. The first polarity welding current is output during the short-circuit period, but the first polarity welding current and the second polarity welding current opposite to the first polarity are output during the arc period. .
Next, the output of the welding current during the arc period will be described. Consider a case where it is determined that the short circuit / arc detection unit 10 is in an arc state based on a signal from the welding voltage detection unit 9. In this case, the polarity reversal setting unit 12 having a time measuring function uses the time when the arc 21 is generated as a time starting point, and outputs a continuation signal that continues the first polarity until the first predetermined time Epta elapses. Output to the inverted output control unit 13. When the polarity inversion setting unit 12 detects that the first predetermined time Epta has elapsed, the polarity inversion setting unit 12 outputs a polarity inversion signal for inverting the polarity to the second polarity to the polarity inversion output control unit 13. The polarity inversion output control unit 13 receiving the signal from the polarity inversion setting unit 12 outputs a polarity inversion control signal to the polarity inversion switching unit 14, and the polarity inversion switching unit 14 performs the first commutation. After that, the polarity reversal setting unit 12 outputs a continuation signal that continues the second polarity until the time t4 when the second predetermined time Enta has elapsed from the time t3 when the first commutation is performed as a time starting point. Output to the control unit 13. Thereafter, at time t4 when the second predetermined time Enter has elapsed, the polarity inversion setting unit 12 outputs a polarity inversion signal for inverting the polarity to the first polarity to the polarity inversion output control unit 13. The polarity inversion output control unit 13 receiving the signal from the polarity inversion setting unit 12 outputs a polarity inversion control signal to the polarity inversion switching unit 14, and the polarity inversion switching unit 14 performs the second commutation.
The values of the first predetermined time Epta, the second predetermined time Enta, and the positive electrode current EnIa are set to appropriate values associated with the welding set current values set in the welding condition setting unit 15 in the polarity inversion setting unit 12. Stored in When the welding setting current value is set by the welding condition setting unit 15, the polarity inversion setting unit 12 determines the values of the first predetermined time Epta, the second predetermined time Enta, and the positive electrode current EnIa.
As described above, according to the first embodiment, the welding current during the arc period is commutated from the first polarity to the second polarity, and the wire 20 side is set as the negative electrode. Thereby, compared with the conventional DC welding in which the wire 20 side is always the positive electrode and the base material 22 side is the negative electrode, the melting of the wire 20 can be promoted and the heat input to the base material 22 can be reduced. It is possible to easily cope with a gap between the base materials 22 at the welding site without causing melting or the like. Furthermore, the proper penetration of the base material 22 can be obtained by adjusting the value of the positive electrode current EnIa.
Regarding the adjustment of the positive electrode current EnIa, the welding condition setting unit 15 has a function of adjusting the positive electrode current EnIa so that the operator can adjust the positive electrode current EnIa. More specifically, a current adjustment amount (not shown) for changing or adjusting the value of the positive electrode current EnIa determined by the polarity inversion setting unit 12 based on the welding setting current set by the welding condition setting unit 15. A setting part is provided in the welding condition setting part 15, and the current adjustment amount setting part may be adjusted.
That is, the arc welding control method according to the first embodiment is an arc welding control method in which welding is performed by repeatedly performing a short circuit and an arc, and the welding current is applied so that the first polarity welding current is applied during the short circuit period. To control. Then, in the arc welding control method of the first embodiment, in the arc period following the short-circuit period, the second polarity having the opposite polarity to the first polarity from the first polarity that is the polarity of the welding current during the short-circuit period. The first commutation for commutating the welding current to the polarity of the second, and the second commutation for commutating the welding current from the second polarity to the first polarity during the arc period in which the first commutation is performed. It consists of a method of controlling the welding current so as to perform.
Alternatively, the first commutation may be performed after the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the arc period.
Alternatively, the second commutation may be performed after the second predetermined time has elapsed since the first commutation.
The arc welding apparatus according to the first embodiment is an arc welding apparatus that performs welding by repeatedly short-circuiting and arcing between a welding wire and an object to be welded, and includes a primary side rectification unit, a switching unit, And a secondary side rectification unit, a polarity switching unit, a welding voltage detection unit, a short-circuit arc determination unit, and a polarity inversion setting unit. And the arc welding apparatus of this Embodiment 1 outputs a polarity reversal control signal to a polarity switching part so that a polarity reversal setting part may supply the welding current of a 1st polarity during a short circuit period. The welding current of the polarity is output. In the arc welding apparatus of the first embodiment, in the arc period following the short circuit period, the polarity inversion setting unit is opposite to the first polarity from the first polarity that is the polarity of the welding current during the short circuit period. A second polarity welding current is output by outputting a polarity inversion control signal to the polarity switching unit so as to perform the first commutation in which the welding current is commutated to the second polarity which is the polarity. In the arc welding apparatus according to the first embodiment, during the arc period in which the first commutation is performed, the polarity reversal setting unit commutates the welding current from the second polarity to the first polarity. Thus, the first polarity welding current is output by outputting a polarity reversal control signal to the polarity switching unit so as to perform the commutation.
The polarity reversal setting unit counts the elapsed time from the start of the arc period and outputs the polarity reversal control signal for performing the first commutation after a first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the arc period. It is good also as a structure to output.
In addition, the polarity inversion setting unit measures the elapsed time since the first commutation, and performs the second commutation after the second predetermined time has elapsed since the first commutation. It may be configured to output an inversion control signal.
The main difference of the second embodiment of the present invention from the first embodiment is that the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time, which are the times for performing the first commutation and the second commutation during the arc period. This is a point that the operator can adjust the time Enter.
Since the arc welding apparatus of the second embodiment is composed of the same components as the consumable electrode type arc welding apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1, its operation will be described with reference to FIG. In the second embodiment, the welding condition setting unit 15 shown in FIG. 1 has a function of adjusting the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta. Thereby, the operator can adjust the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta. More specifically, with respect to the values of the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta determined by the polarity inversion setting unit 12 based on the welding set current set by the welding condition setting unit 15, An adjustment amount setting unit (not shown) for adjustment is provided in the welding condition setting unit 15.
A first predetermined time Epta and a second predetermined time Enta are stored in advance in the polarity reversal setting unit 12 in association with the welding set current value set by the welding condition setting unit 15. Then, the polarity reversal setting unit 12 determines a first predetermined time Epta and a second predetermined time Enta corresponding to the welding set current value set by the welding condition setting unit 15. However, the polarity inversion setting unit 12 uses the determined first predetermined time Epta and second predetermined time Enta as the adjustment amount of the first predetermined time Epta set by the adjustment amount setting unit of the welding condition setting unit 15. It is possible to adjust according to the adjustment amount of the second predetermined time Enta.
For example, the amount of heat input to the base material 22 is reduced as compared with the case where welding is performed at the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta according to the welding set current value set by the welding condition setting unit 15. Suppose you want to reduce the amount of penetration. In this case, the operator uses the welding condition setting unit 15 to adjust the first predetermined time Epta to be shorter and the second predetermined time Enta to be longer. Thereby, the amount of heat input to the base material 22 can be lowered and the amount of penetration can be reduced.
As described above, by adjusting the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta determined based on the welding set current value, the amount of penetration of the base material 22 can be easily adjusted at the welding site. Can be applied to thin plates.
Note that the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta stored in the polarity reversal setting unit 12 are predetermined times, and may be values suitable for a welding target based on experiments, demonstrations, and the like. Good. For example, the first predetermined time is about 1 to 5 msec, and the second predetermined time is about 1 to 8 msec.
As described above, according to the second embodiment, the operator can easily adjust each of the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta. Thereby, it becomes possible to change the amount of heat input to the base material 22 and the amount of penetration, and the amount of heat input to the base material 22 can be reduced. As a result, it becomes possible to easily cope with welding of thin plates, gaps between the base materials 22 and the like at the welding site without causing melting or the like.
The main point of the third embodiment of the present invention different from the first embodiment is that, as the wire 20 is fed, forward feed and reverse feed are periodically repeated at a predetermined cycle and a predetermined amplitude. .
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an output waveform of the arc welding control method according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, and shows the time of wire feed speed Wf and welding current Aw when welding is performed by the consumable electrode type arc welding control method. It is a figure which shows a waveform. The feeding of the wire 20 is controlled so as to repeat the forward feeding and the reverse feeding as indicated by the wire feeding speed Wf in FIG.
When the wire feeding speed Wf is normal feeding, that is, when the wire 20 is fed in the direction of the base material 22, a short circuit tends to occur near the wire feeding speed Wf1 where the normal feeding speed is fast. When the wire feed speed Wf is reverse feed, that is, when the wire 20 is fed away from the base material 22, a short circuit is opened near the wire feed speed Wf2 where the reverse feed speed is fast, and an arc is generated. It tends to be easy. Then, by periodically feeding the wire 20, a short-circuit state in which the wire 20 and the base material 22 come into contact with each other and a short circuit and an arc state in which an arc is generated are periodically repeated as shown in FIG. 3. It is.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the short-circuit period from time t1 to time t2, the welding current Aw is appropriately controlled corresponding to the short-circuit period. In the arc period from the time t2 to the time t5, the welding current Aw smoothly transfers the droplet formed at the tip of the wire 20 to the base material 22 during the next short-circuiting period. Controlled to form drops.
Here, the arc welding apparatus according to the third embodiment is composed of the same components as the consumable electrode type arc welding apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1, and will be described with reference to FIG. Regarding the wire feed control, the wire feed speed control unit 16 sends a signal for periodically controlling the feed of the wire 20 to the forward feed control and the reverse feed control with a predetermined cycle and a predetermined amplitude set in advance. Output to the feeder 19. The wire feeding unit 19 controls the feeding of the wire 20 based on a signal from the wire feeding speed control unit 16.
This periodic wire feed control may be a sine wave as shown in FIG. 3, a trapezoidal wave shape, or any other waveform shape as long as it is a periodic shape.
The wire feeding speed control unit 16 includes a storage unit 17 and a wire feeding speed determination unit 18, and outputs a signal to the wire feeding unit 19 to control wire feeding. . Here, the memory | storage part 17 memorize | stores the welding setting electric current, the average feeding speed of wire feeding speed, the frequency of wire feeding speed, and the amplitude of wire feeding speed, The formula or table which matched these mutually Remember. The wire feed speed determining unit 18 determines the wire feed speed from the storage unit 17 based on the formula or table stored in the storage unit 17 and the welding set current set by the welding condition setting unit 15. Determine the average feed rate and the forward and reverse feed frequencies and amplitudes.
As described above, according to the arc welding control method and the arc welding apparatus of the third embodiment, the occurrence of a short circuit and the opening of the short circuit are performed in the cycle of one forward feed and reverse feed of the wire feed speed Wf. It is performed once, and the short-circuit cycle is stabilized according to the periodic operation of the wire feed speed. Then, by stabilizing the short-circuit cycle, the variation in the arc period is reduced as compared with the case where the wire feed speed Wf as shown in FIG. 2 is constant, so that the second predetermined time Enta can be set longer.
In addition, by performing periodic wire feeding of forward feeding and reverse feeding, the short-circuit time can be increased as will be described later in one cycle, so that the welding voltage can be lowered, and the mother The amount of heat input to the material 22 can be reduced. For example, the ratio of the short circuit time in one cycle is about 10 to 30% when the wire feed speed Wf is constant, and about 30 to 50% when the forward feed and the reverse feed are periodically repeated. is there. As a result, the amount of heat input to the base material 22 can be further reduced with respect to welding where the wire feed speed Wf is constant. It is possible to easily cope with the welding site without generating.
Note that the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta may be determined based on a wire feed speed that is periodically changed between a predetermined period and a predetermined amplitude.
In addition, the arc welding control method of the third embodiment has a predetermined period for feeding the welding wire in the forward direction in which the welding wire is fed in the direction of the welding object and in the reverse direction in which the forward feeding is performed in the opposite direction. It is good also as a method of welding with the wire feed speed changed periodically with a predetermined amplitude.
By this method, the short circuit time can be lengthened, so that the welding voltage can be lowered and the amount of heat input to the base material can be further reduced.
Further, the first predetermined time may be determined based on a wire feed speed that is periodically changed with a predetermined period and a predetermined amplitude.
Further, the arc welding apparatus of the third embodiment has a predetermined cycle and a predetermined period for feeding the welding wire in the forward direction in the direction of the object to be welded and in the reverse direction in which the forward direction is reversed. It is good also as a structure which welds with the wire feed speed changed periodically with the amplitude of this.
With this configuration, the short-circuit time can be lengthened, so that the welding voltage can be lowered and the amount of heat input to the base material can be reduced.
Moreover, the arc welding apparatus of the third embodiment includes a welding condition setting unit for setting welding conditions, and the polarity inversion setting unit is associated with the welding setting current set in the welding condition setting unit. A plurality of at least one of the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time is stored, and the polarity inversion setting unit is configured to perform the first predetermined time based on the welding set current set by the welding condition setting unit. The second predetermined time may be determined.
With this configuration, the short-circuit time can be lengthened, so that the welding voltage can be lowered and the amount of heat input to the base material can be reduced. As a result, it becomes possible to easily cope with welding of thin plates and gaps between the base materials at the welding site without causing melting or the like.
The main difference of the fourth embodiment of the present invention from the first and third embodiments is that the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta are provided in the welding condition setting unit 15. It is a point which can adjust according to the adjustment amount of the 1st predetermined time Epta set using the time adjustment amount setting part which does not perform, and the adjustment amount of the 2nd predetermined time Enta. The first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta are stored in advance in the polarity inversion setting unit 12 and are determined based on the welding set current set by the welding condition setting unit 15.
Since the arc welding apparatus of the fourth embodiment is composed of the same components as the consumable electrode type arc welding apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1, it will be described with reference to FIG. In the polarity inversion setting unit 12 shown in FIG. 1, the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta are stored in association with the welding set current value set by the welding condition setting unit 15. Then, the operator sets the adjustment amount of the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta by the time adjustment amount setting unit of the welding condition setting unit 15. Then, the polarity reversal setting unit 12 adjusts the value associated with the welding set current value according to the set adjustment amount, and changes the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta. be able to. For example, when the amount of heat input to the base material 22 is reduced to reduce the amount of melt, the first predetermined time Epta may be shortened and the second predetermined time Enta may be adjusted to be long.
That is, the welding condition setting unit of the arc welding apparatus according to the fourth embodiment has the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time determined by the polarity inversion setting unit based on the welding setting current set by the welding condition setting unit. It is good also as a structure which has the adjustment amount setting part for outputting the adjustment amount for adjusting time to a polarity inversion setting part.
With this configuration, the values of the first predetermined time Epta and the second predetermined time Enta are associated with the welding current set values, and the associated values are adjusted, and the first predetermined time Epta Or the second predetermined time Enter can be changed. Thereby, the amount of heat input to the base material can be adjusted, and the amount of heat input can be adjusted according to the thickness of the base material. Therefore, it is possible to easily cope with welding of thin plates, gaps between base materials, and the like at the welding site without causing melting or the like.
According to the present invention, the amount of heat input to the base material can be reduced, and welding is performed without melting a thin plate (for example, a plate thickness of 0.6 mm or less), which has been difficult with the conventional arc welding control method. It becomes possible to do. Accordingly, the present invention is industrially useful as a consumable electrode arc welding apparatus or an arc welding control method for performing arc welding while continuously feeding a welding wire as a consumable electrode to a thin plate.
