8 Installation and Usage Instructions
Tubular conductors are typically installed overhead after welding, using specialized busbar fittings for secure fixation. Since the strength of the joint is reduced after welding—approximately 65% of the base material’s strength—it is essential to reinforce the joint internally with a liner pipe to prevent bending during operation once the conductor is installed overhead. The number of welded joints between two overhead support structures (or suspension points) should not exceed two. The commonly used welding methods for aluminum and aluminum alloy tubes are as follows:
Argon arc welding, or argon arc welding, is a welding process conducted under the protection of argon gas. It uses a DC power source and employs a welding wire (or electrode rod) as the electrode to generate an electric arc between the electrode and the workpiece. The welding is performed at the interface between the welding wire (or electrode rod) and the workpiece. This method offers several advantages: it concentrates heat effectively, ensures a stable arc, and allows the molten metal to benefit from excellent protection by the argon gas, thereby preventing oxidation. Moreover, the argon arc can easily remove the oxide film from the surface of the molten metal. As a result, this process produces high-quality welds that are not only free of defects but also exceptionally pure. Additionally, the technique is relatively easy to master, and it enables welding in all positions.
1. Requirements for Argon Gas
The purity of argon must be maintained at 99.9% or higher, with impurities such as oxygen below 0.005%, hydrogen below 0.005%, moisture below 0.02 mg/L, and nitrogen below 0.015%. An increase in either oxygen or nitrogen will degrade the cathode atomization effect. When oxygen exceeds 0.3%, tungsten electrode burnout is exacerbated; when oxygen exceeds 0.1%, the weld surface becomes dull or turns black. When nitrogen exceeds 0.05%, the fluidity of the molten pool deteriorates, leading to poor weld bead formation.

3 Welding Requirements
To ensure the tubular conductor is securely fixed and to minimize deformation, the welding sequence should begin with spot welding to stabilize the main pipe and reduce bending at the joint. It is advisable to perform spot welding in a symmetrical pattern. The argon gas flow rate typically ranges from 30 to 50 L/min.
