Abstract

Compared with other traditional welding, CO2 gas shielded arc welding has the advantages of high thermal stability, low heat input, and low melt depth. It is also widely used in manufacturing industry due to its low cost and high productivity, but its development is limited by large welding spatter and poor weld seam formation. In order to adapt to the development of new materials and welding environment, the development of new anti-spatter technology is of great significance. Through the collection, collation, and analysis of domestic and international CO2 gas shielded arc welding research data, this paper provides a review of the existing, representative and innovative welding processes. On the basis of existing research theories, the future development trend of the field is summarized and predicted.
