Popis: The surface tension of detached liquid drops in pulsed gas metal arc welding was determined in situ from the period of the prolate-oblate oscillations initiated by the detachment event. The oscillating drops were imaged by an optical shadowgraph technique utilizing laser illumination. Images obtained during the welding process were recorded with a high-speed video camera and stored for subsequent analysis. For 4047 aluminium alloy wire, surface tension values in the range 0.54-0.7 were obtained for various droplet sizes.
