Abstract— During the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding(GTAW) process, the arc length will change along with welding thermal deformation, uneven surface of the work-piece and wear of the tungsten electrode. Considering the large fluctuation of arc length in all positions of circular seam welding under multi-variable coupling, the method of real-time arc length fuzzy control in circular seam welding is studied. In this paper, an isolated circuit of arc length collection is designed, and a real-time arc length tracking algorithm based on DC pulse TIG welding is proposed to implement the calculation of arc voltage in the pulse peak phase and the adjustment of arc length in the pulse base phase. Experiments show that the arc length adaptive method based on the fuzzy control algorithm can significantly improve the arc length stability, and obviously improve the welding quality and stability.

Index Terms— GTAW, Arc Length, Tube-Sheet Welding.
