Abstract
A method for welding by a magnetically driven arc, which comprises placing two objects of welding in butt formation with a small gap between the end edges thereof to form a welding line; parallelly connecting a first electric circuit comprising the two objects of welding and a cable arranged on the surface side of the two objects of welding and a second electric circuit comprising the two objects of welding and another cable arranged on the back side of the two objects of welding to a welding power source; flowing a welding current through the first and second electric circuits to produce an arc in the small gap; moving the arc along the welding line under the effect of an electromagnetic force in the direction of the welding line, the electromagnetic force being produced by the magnetic flux of magnetizing coils provided near the end edges of the two objects of welding and welding current flowing through the arc; and changing the amount of welding current flowing through the first and second electric circuits to control the electromagnetic force in the thickness direction of the two objects of welding; thereby continuously moving the arc in the thickness direction of the two objects of welding, thus uniformly heating the end edge of the two objects of welding to a welding temperature by the heat of the moving arc.
