Mode of Weld Metal transfer from Electrode to the Work
Short Circuiting Globular Spray Pulsed Spray
The mode of Metal transfer depends on the following parameters:
Welding currentElectrode sizeElectrode compositionElectrode stick outShielding gas (if any)
Short Circuiting mode:
-
8/12/2019 Welding SG
14/76
Short Circuiting mode:Produces very low heat due to the usage of low welding current and voltageMetal transfer takes place for a short duration at the time when welding rod is in contathe weld poolSurface tension of the melted metal pool helps in metal transfer electrode contacts the weld pool at random frequencies which range from 20 - 200 conSuch transfer results in les spatter and well suited for thin section welding
Globular TransferTransfer mode characterized by a drop two or three times larger than dia of the electrodeThe droplet gets detached from the electrode by some pinching forceWeak magnetic forces and strong gravity forces also aid in the metal transfer
Due to wobbling of the droplets at the electrode tip the arc stability is disturbedHeat affected zone is narrow but penetration becomes small and large spattering occurs
Spray Transfer
-
8/12/2019 Welding SG
15/76
Spray TransferDroplet size is small and directed axially in a straight line towards the weld poolThere is a transition current above which such transfer takes placeThere is less spatter and weld bead is smoothDroplets vary between hundred per second to several hundreds per second
Increase in current results in decrease in droplet size and increase in frequencyHigh deposition rateCannot be used in overhead or vertical welding since they cannot be supported bysurface tension
Pulsed Spray TransferType of spray transfer occurring at regularly spaced intervals
Power source should be capable of producing pulsed current, hence e xpensivDroplet size equal to diameter of the electrodeFlat weld beads are possible at comparatively low power

No heat is applied and no melting occurs. Permits welding of thin to thick sections. Welding can be made through some surface coatings. Pressures used are lower, welding times are shorter, and the thickne
of deformed regions are thinner than for cold welding.

Steels: They are readily weldable than copper or aluminium. However increase in carbonin the steels result in a decrease in its weldability.Austenitic steels are readily weldable
Ferritic and martensitic steels are not that weldable and they often require preheating andSpecial electrodes.Ferritic steels are more susceptible to hot cracking
Aluminium and its alloys: More susceptible to hot cracking, oxide inclusioHydrogen porosity
Copper and its alloys: Because of high thermal conductivity of copper preIs required to counteract the heat sink effect. TIG or MIG is preferred.For copper alloy Brass presence of Zinc is the main problemBronze require careful cleaning and deoxidization to prevent porosity

It is a joining process in which a filler metal is meltedand distributed by capillary action between the
Faying surfaces of the metal parts being joined.No melting of the base metals occur.Filler metal (brazing metal) has a m.p. 450 oC butbelow the m.p. of the base metal.The clearance gap between the mating surfacesis an imp. Parameter deciding strength of theJoint. Clearances are small.Use of flux like borax, fluorides, chlorides isEssential.
