Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for assessing start-of-weld and steady state welding stability in pulsed arc consumable electrode gas-shielded welding. According to the present welding stability assessment apparatus, in order to obtain a pass/fail decision on start-of-weld welding stability for pulsed arc welding, an irregularity value is computed by a computer means, based on detected values from a detector means; and a pass/fail decision is made by an assessment means, thus making it possible to perform accurate assessment of start-of-weld welding stability in pulsed-arc welding.
