Magnetic oscillation arc (MOA) technology was developed to avoid insufficient fusion defects appearing at the sidewalls in narrow gap gas tungsten arc welding (NG-GTAW). In this work, a unified model was developed to simulate the process of MOA assisted NG-GTAW. The model included the MOA, welding pool, workpiece and the coupling interaction between them. The heating characteristic of the MOA and the flow of liquid metal were simulated, and the mechanism of forming a uniform welding bead under MOA was investigated. It was found that if the magnetic flux density increased to 9 mT, the MOA could point to the sidewall directly; the maximum heat flux at the bottom declined by almost half and at the side, it increased by more than ten times. Additionally, the heat flux was no longer concentrated but dispersed along the narrow groove face. Under the effect of MOA, there were mainly two flow vortexes in the molten pool, which could further increase the heat distribution between the bottom, sidewall and corner, and was beneficial for the formation of a good-shape weld. The model was validated by experimental data.
