Latest Patents
Nixon B Breen holds a patent for the "Reduction of arc blow in multi-electrode welding." This invention provides a method and apparatus designed to reduce the phenomenon known as arc blow, which occurs due to the interaction of magnetic fields produced by closely spaced arcs and electrodes. The invention introduces shunts made of magnetically permeable material positioned near the arc-producing ends of the electrodes. This design effectively reduces the concentration of magnetic flux, thereby minimizing the deviation of the end arcs. The application of this invention is particularly beneficial when welding aluminum, a metal that is prone to arc blow issues.
