Shielding gas composition is an important parameter for successful gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and has been shown to affect the fume formation rate (FFR). The present paper compares thirteen shielding gases and their impact on FFR in spray transfer. In Ar-based mixtures, increasing CO2 had a greater impact than raising O2 on FFR. When O2 was increased in ternary mixtures, the FFR increased for Ar-5%CO2 but no discernable increase was observed for the Ar-12%CO2 mixtures. Ar-He-CO2 mixtures had the most stable FFR's. The FFR for 100% CO2 was significantly higher due to the change in weld transfer mode to …

The present paper compares thirteen shielding gases and their impact on FFR and fume particle while welding in the spray transfer regime. There was no obvious influence from the shielding gas on particle composition and fume particles were identified as (Fe,Mn)3O4. There was a slight peak shift that indicated that small levels of Mn, as detected by TEM-EDS, substituted for Fe in the Fe3O4 phase. Shielding gas composition is an important parameter for successful gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and has been shown to affect the fume formation rate (FFR). In Ar-based mixtures, increasing CO2 had a greater impact than …

Here we report on the direct deposition of large quantities of highly porous carbon nanotube networks onto a carbon fibre paper support; subsequently utilised as the anode in a Li-ion battery application showing improved long-term performance and chemical stability with a significant fully reversible capacity of 546mAh/g.
