Abstract;Tandem arc welding, in which welding is carried out simultaneously with two welding wires, was developed to economize and shorten the overall welding process. The arc of the leading electrode is buried, to stabilize the arc. Furthermore, a welding mode switching function and other options were incorporated into commercial models. Tandem arc welding systems have found popularity with various users and contributed greatly to improvements in production efficiency and weld quality. (author abst.)
