Investigation On Welding Arc Interruptions In The Presence Of Magnetic Fields: Arc Length, Torch Angle And Current Pulsing Frequency Influence, Ruham Reis, Americo Scotti, John Norrish, Dominic Cuiuri

Arc interruptions have been observed in tandem pulsed gas metal arc welding (GMAW). This fact, which is likely related to magnetic interaction between the arcs, motivated previous study concerning the influence of the welding current on this phenomenon. In order to promote further understanding, this paper investigates the effects of arc length, torch angle, and high-frequency current pulsing on the arc resistance to extinction. To mimic the situation found in tandem GMAW (magnetic field induced by one arc acting on the other arc), external magnetic fields were applied to gas tungsten arc welding arcs. It was verified that short arc …

We theoretically calculate the nonlinear optical spectrum of two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction in terahertz frequency regime. For Rashba coupling parameter in the order of 0.4 eVÅ, the nonlinear optical response exceeds the linear response with the application of an external electric field strength in the order of 103 V/cm.
