Title: STUDY OF PHYSICAL PROCESSES IN THE CATHODE REGION OF A WELDING ARC
Keywords: : FEM, TIG, Thermal Plasma, Thermal Processes, Electrical Pr

Abstract: The study presents results from mathematical modeling of the physical processes in the cathode area of an electric welding arc with tungsten cathode. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to solve electrical, thermal and fluid tasks. When solving the equations, the characteristics of the materials involved in the process are set as temperature functions. As a result of simulation modeling the cathode voltage drop, temperature fields, electric potential, and current density close to the cathode have been obtained. The methods of reading the heat balance in the cathode region are discussed and the role of plasma cooling for concentrating the current lines through the electrode tip is shown.
