The weld deposition efficiency is an important economic factor like productivity and weld quality in gas metal arc welding (GMAW). There is a strong relationship between arc sound signals and arc stability (or deposition efficiency) in GMAW. In this work, the variation of weld deposition efficiency with various pulse parameters in pulsed metal inert gas welding was investigated. The arc sound signal along with current and voltage signals were acquired and analyzed in time domain as well as in frequency domain. The sound signal kurtosis and arc power were found to be highly correlated with welding process stability. The weld deposition efficiency was also related to weld surface peak temperature. Finally, an attempt was made to correlate the sound time domain as well as frequency domain features of sound signal with the deposition efficiency. The variation of pulse shape with the duty factor also influenced the deposition efficiency as evidenced by in fast Fourier transform analysis.
