What Causes Welding Spatter? Welding spatter is caused by unstable molten metal droplets being ejected from the arc or weld pool. The instability arises from a combination of incorrect process parameters, consumable or base-metal contamination, poor shielding or gas flow, equipment faults, and operator technique. Fundamental physics of arc metal …

Globular Transfer in MIG Welding Globular transfer is one of the classic metal-transfer modes encountered in Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), commonly called MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding when inert gases are used. It sits between short-circuiting transfer and spray transfer in both behavior and effects: the molten wire forms …
