Two gas metal arc welding process dataset of arc parameters and input parameters

The dataset was collected from experiments using the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process. The experiments were planned with Central Composite Design to obtain a greater variety of data. This variability helps to develop a predictive model more generalistic with machine learning techniques. It was collected welding arc images and weld bead geometry images. Welding arc images were processed with a deep learning technique to detect drop detachment and short circuit transfer mode. These detections were useful to calc drop detachment frequency, short circuit frequency, and molten volume in every moment of GMAW process time. It was obtained the weld bead geometry parameters by process time too. All these data, joining input parameters were correlated, resulting in the datasets shown in this article.
