Influence of Cross-Wind on CO<sub>2</sub> Arc Welding of Carbon Steel

The purpose of this study is to develop a novel welding torch with high wind resistance, which can be used for welding outside a building under strong cross-wind. In this paper, a parametric study was carried out using different torch nozzle designs and shield gas flow rates for their optimization....
