  • Publication number: 20230166345
    Abstract: A method comprises: providing a welding current pulse through a welding circuit to create an arc for a welding operation; measuring an arc voltage to produce a measured arc voltage pulse that includes an inductive voltage drop due to inductance in the welding circuit and current ramps of the welding current pulse; and during the welding operation, implementing an inductance-compensation feedback loop. The feedback loop includes canceling the inductive voltage drop from the measured arc voltage pulse using a canceling voltage to produce a compensated arc voltage pulse; and deriving the canceling voltage based on the compensated arc voltage pulse.

  • Patent number: 8507108
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cutting tool insert, solid end mill, or drill, comprising a substrate and a coating. The coating is composed of one or more layers of refractory compounds of which at least one layer comprises a h-Me1Me2X phase, where Me1 is one or several of the elements V, Cr, Nb, and Ta and Me2 is one or several of the elements Ti, Zr, Hf, Al, and Si and X is one or several of the elements N, C, O or B. The ratio R=(at-% X)/(at-% Me1+at-% Me2) of the h-MelMe2X phase is between 0.5 and 1.0, preferably between 0.8 and 1.0 and X contains less than 30 at-% of O+B. This invention is particularly useful in metal cutting applications where the chip thickness is small and the work material is hard e.g. copy milling using solid end mills, insert milling cutters or drilling of hardened steels.
