Abstract
A methodology is presented for monitoring the pulsed gas metal are welding process objectively using indices calculated from the statistical features of the welding current and voltage transient waveforms. Five monitoring ind ices are presented. The indices allow the quantitative interpretation of pr ocess performance and give an indication of which process parameter(s) shou ld be altered to ensure stable pulse welding performance.
