The influence of depositing torch angle on the fluctuation behavior of weld pool and the quality of weld formation are compared and analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The FANUC controlled robotic manufacturing system comprised a Fronius cold metal transfer (CMT) Advanced 4000R power source, FANUC robot, water cooling system, wire feeding system and a gas shielding system. An infrared laser was used to illuminate the weld pool for high-speed imaging at 1,000 frames per second with CR600X2 high-speed camera. The high-speed camera was set up a 35 \u00c2\u00b0 angle with the deposition direction to investigate the weld pool flow patterns derived from high-speed video and the effect of torch angles on the first layer of wire additive manufacture-CMT.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The experimental results demonstrated that different torch angles significantly influence on the deposited morphology, porosity formation rate and weld pool flow.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>With regard to the first layer of wire arc additive manufacture of aluminum alloys, the change of torch angle is critical. It is clear that different torch angles significantly influence on the weld morphology, porosity formation and weld pool flow. Furthermore, under different torch angles, the deposited beads will produce different defects. To get well deposited beads, 0-10\u00b0 torch could be made away from the vertical position of the deposition direction, in which the formation of deposited beads were well and less porosity and other defects.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ir-11-2018-0233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,7]],"date-time":"2019-05-07T04:54:51Z","timestamp":1557204891000},"page":"259-266","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Effect
