Pulsed tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is widely used in industry due to its superior properties, so the measurement of arc telnperature is important to analyse welding process. Arc image of spectral line in 794.8 nm is captured by high speed camera; both the Abel inversion and the Fowler-Milne method are used to calculate the temperature distribution of the pulsed TIG welding. Characteristic of transient variation in arc intensity and temperature is analyzed. When the change of current happens, intensity and temperature of arc jump as well, it costs several millisoconds. The flirther the axial position from the tungsten is, the greater the intensity jumps, and the smaller the temperature changes.

To improve the welding efficiency of conventional arc welding, triple-electrode fillet welding was proposed and developed. Stability of triple-electrode fillet welding process is the assurance for ideal joint. The evaluation model for arc fluctuations of triple-electrode fillet welding was established based on the characteristic parameters and their variation coefficients. This model indicated that variation coefficients could reflect arc voltage flnctuations of welding process, and its analysis result was consistent with the actual welding process.
