This paper investigates the mechanisms that contribute to the spreading of liquid metal macro-drop deposited during Stationary Pulsed Gas Metal Arc Welding on an initially cold solid workpiece. Surface tension and inertial effects take an important part in the behaviour of the liquid metal macro-drop, but in this configuration the influence of energetic effects can also be significant. The experimental results are discussed in the light of dimensional analysis in order to appreciate the influence of the process parameters and the physical mechanisms involved on the spreading of a macro-drop. A law is established to model forced non-isothermal spreading.List of symbolscpSpecific heat (J kg−1 K−1)dwWire diameter (m)DMacro-drop diameter (m)fFrequency (Hz)gGravity (m s−2)hHeight of the macro-drop (m)IWelding current (A)LEnthalpy of melting (J kg−1)LdCharacteristic length of the droplet (m)PWelding power (W)RBase radius of the macro-drop (m)rRadius of the droplet (m)tTime (s)T0Initial temperature of the workpiece (K)TdTemperature of the droplet (K)TfFusion temperature (K)TmTemperature of the macro-drop (K)udDroplet velocity (m s−1)uVelocity of the contact line (m s−1)UVoltage (V)VVolume of the macro-drop (m3)vdMetal input by time unit (m3 s−1)VwWire feed speed (m s−1)BoBond number (ρ g R2 γ−1)CaCapillary number (μ u γ−1)PePeclet number (ρ cp R u γ−1)PrPrandtl number (μ cp λ−1)ReReynolds number (ρ u D μ−1)WeWeber number (ρ ud2 R γ−1)ZOhnesorge number (μ ρ−0.5 γ−0.5 R−0.5)γSurface tension (N m−1)μViscosity (kg m−1 s−1)ρDensity (kg m−3)λThermal conductivity (W m−1 K−1)θContact angle (rad)
