Principles of welding
Short Circuit Transfer
- Short circuit transfer is the most common used method whereby the
wire electrode is fed continuously down the welding torch through to and exiting the contact tip.
The wire touches the work piece and causes a short circuit the wire heats up and begins to form
a molten bead, the bead separates from the end of the wire and forms a droplet that is transferred
into the weld pool. This process is repeated about 100 times per second, making the arc appear
constant to the human eye.
