Abstract: Heat input is one of the parameters describing the arc welding process shown in the welding procedure specification. However, there is a strong need to precise its determination particularly when welding with arc pulsation. The paper presents an experiment illustrating the influence of the pulsed current frequency on heat transfer results when welding 321 steel with the GTAW method.
