The theory of metal transfer in arc-welding has long attracted the attention of investigators since the beginning of this century. The mode of metal transfer determines, to a large extent, the techno-economical characteristics of the welding process. The metallurgical changes in the weld metal, the formation of the weld bead, the spatter losses and the positional weldability are all governed by the mode of metal transfer.

The mode of metal transfer determines, to a large extent, the techno-economical characteristics of the welding process. The metallurgical changes in the weld metal, the formation of the weld bead, the spatter losses and the positional weldability are all governed by the mode of metal transfer.
