Capacitive discharge or CD welding is a variant of resistance welding(1,2). The process differs from the conventional variants largely in the type of power supply used. Conventional systems provide some variant of alternating current to a transformer arrangement.
Electrolytic capacitors (E-caps) offer a potential alternative for large capacity CD welding systems. E-caps incorporate an electrolyte impregnated into a separator. The separator is then sandwiched between anodic and cathodic foils. A dielectric is also used to prevent direct contact of the foils with the electrolyte.
The process differs from the conventional variants largely in the type of power supply used. Conventional systems provide some variant of alternating current to a transformer arrangement. The transformer arrangement produces low voltage, high current power that is suitable for resistance welding.
With CD welding, the main energy is stored in a capacitor arrangement. In application, that energy is discharged through a transformer creating again low voltage – high current power for welding. CD welding does differ from conventional resistance welding in a number of ways(1).
Conventional systems provide some variant of alternating current to a transformer arrangement. The transformer arrangement produces low voltage, high current power that is suitable for resistance welding. With CD welding, the main energy is stored in a capacitor arrangement.
Capacitive discharge welding, particularly for large-scale systems, is typically done using film-type capacitors. These capacitors store energy along alternating plates separated by a dielectric film. Charge is stored statically along the lengths of the plates. The basic configuration of the film capacitor is provided in Figure 1.
What Is Voltage in Welding? Understanding the Essential Role
Voltage plays a crucial role in welding, as it determines the heat energy and intensity of the electrical arc used to melt and join metals together. 2. In welding, voltage is measured in volts and can range from as low as 20 volts to as high as several hundred volts, depending on the specific welding process and type of metal being welded. 3. The voltage …
