Abstract There is an increased requirement in the automotive, food and medical equipment industries to weld heatsensitive materials, such as thin sheets, coated thin plates,
stainless steel, aluminium and mixed joints. Nevertheless,
relevant innovations in arc welding are not widely known
and seldom used to their maximum potential. In the area of
gas metal arc welding welding processes, digitalisation has
allowed integration of software into the power source, wire
feeder and gas regulation. This paper reviews developments
in the arc welding process, particularly the effect of the setup of the welding process parameters on waveform deposition. It is found that good weldability, good mechanical joint
properties and acceptable process efficiency can be obtained
for thin sheets through advanced power source regulation,
especially over short circuiting, controlled polarity and electrode wire motion. The findings presented in this paper are
valuable for waveform and deposition prediction. The need
is furthermore noted for an algorithm that integrates gas
flow parameters and wire motion control, as well as a
variable sensor on the tip of the electrode, permitting flexibility of control of the current and the voltage waveform.

1 Introduction
Arc welding is a group of welding processes in which the
arc generated by electric power is used to melt the wire and
weld pool to allow the joining of parts. However, the

example, can be used as a variable resistor or as an electronic switch and modern power sources can include an
electronically analogue controlled chopper or an inverter.
This technology has widened the range of adjustments in the
power source, made welding suitable for robot applications,
and enabled the digitalisation of feedback from millisecond
to nanosecond and intelligent control of the welding process. The inverter is a key improvement in the modern power
source because it quickly responds to digital feedback control
and it has dramatically changed the features of arc control [3,
4]. This study focuses on the principles behind the new
processes, highlighting the key improvement in terms of
droplet transfer mode control, current and voltage control,
wire feeder control and gas shielding control. A comparison
of each process is made with the traditional GMAW process
and between the different approaches.
Figure 1 shows the metal transfer mode function of the
welding voltage (V) and current (A) outputs, which determine
the type of the arc process because their values directly influence the droplet transfer mode and the stability of the process.
The main difficulty with conventional power sources was
control of these variables during the process. Electronic and
digital controls enhance the accuracy of the arc. In the 1990s,
developments in computer technology made possible the
design unlimited amount of waveforms aimed to improve
the timing of arcing and metal deposition [3, 4].
The metal transfer mode is controlled by power output
regulation. The International Institute of Welding proposed
in 1976 a classification of droplet transfer and welding processes (Table 1) published later by [5, 6]. Technological
innovation brought variation to the welding process and [7]
proposed a reassessment of welding with three main categories: natural metal transfer, controlled transfer and extended
operating techniques (Tables 2 and 3) [8].
In earlier wire feeds, the motion was constant and the
wire speed was adjusted to the process. New developments
have synchronised both the power source and the wire
feeder to reach an optimised molten material transfer mode.
The process is called, mechanically assisted droplet deposition, which is applied in controlled short circuit by
retracting the wire from the short circuiting [9, 10]. In
addition, the contact tip-to-work distance (CTWD) is integrated into the control of the arc welding process so that the
arc length is not disturbed by the irregularity of the surface
welded and handling monitoring during the manual process
[11]. Another important factor in the welding process is
control of the shielding gas. Regulation of the flow has
become part of the algorithm to optimise the flux according
to requirements sensed on the tip and weld pool [12].
The aforementioned innovations have given more options
to the welder; rather than following pre-set welding parameters established during design of the power sources, determination of the welding parameters now depends on the
electronic control or the computer. This improvement has
given rise to new opportunities in welding heat-sensitive
materials, such as aluminium and stainless steel, and enabled

joining of dissimilar materials and thin sheets or plate material. The precision and flexibility of machine control has made it
possible to apply a variety of methods and has also permitted
optimisation of the choice of electrode diameters, shielding
gas and material quality, with a significant impact on both the
economics of welding and service reliability [8].
The need to increase productivity has resulted in the
development of high-power range transfer modes. One
example of such a transfer mode is the rotating arc, which
is mainly performed in the T.I.M.E or RapidMelt [13, 14]
process. Distortion, a consequence of the high energy load,
is, however, one of the limits of the process.

the waveform and images from a high-speed camera of the

Wet: Let the ball on the end of the wire wet-out to the
puddle.
Pinch: Increase the current to a level high enough to
initiate a pinch effect.
Clear: Maintain and slightly increase the pinch current to
clear the short circuit while simultaneously watching for
pinch detection.
&
&
Blink: Upon pinch detection, rapidly decrease the current. Pinch detection occurs before the short clears. The
inverter shuts off and current decays to a low level
before the short circuit breaks.
Ball: Increase current to form a ball for the next short
circuit.
Background: Drop the current to a low enough level to
allow a short circuit to occur.
Pre-short: If the background current exists for a relatively long time, the pre-short period drops current to an
even lower level to make sure arc force does not push
the puddle back (e.g. prevents excess agitation).

resulting in a highly stable and focused short arc, colder welding, lower heat input, less distortion and lower power consumption. In addition, the process includes intelligent control of the
flow shielding gas rate [32, 33].
The typical current and voltage waveforms of IAC, shown
in Fig. 7, are significantly different from those of a conventional short circuit. During the arcing cycle, the voltage is
maintained at a considerable level while the current is sharply
decreased and after the re-ignition steadily reduced to a low
level. In this stage, in a conventional short circuit, both the
current and voltage are maintained at a right level. During the
short circuiting cycle, the voltage is dramatically reduced and
the current is increased to allow the pinch effect. After reaching the peak, the current and voltage are suddenly reduced for
a cold transfer of the molten metal and stable transition for the
re-ignition of the arc. Table 8 presents an example of setting of
mild steel suggested by the manufacturer. The manufacturer
claims the arc control for mild steel, stainless steel and other
grades in the software package [32, 33].

performance from robotic to manual application by improving the stability of the arc at low values of welding current.
The previous version was limited to aluminium, mild steel
but new welding equipment has included structural steel
[53, 59]. The increase of the welding current and the load
(P0300 A at 80 %) gives additional advantages [54, 60].
The EN polarity ratio has a significant effect on wire
melting speed in AC-pulsed MIG welding. It has been found
that at 150 A of mean welding current, the melting speed of
a wire with 40 % EN ratio is 60 % higher than that with a
0 % EN ratio (DCEP) in DC-pulsed welding. In addition to
the high deposition rate, it was observed that low amperage
results in a decrease in heat input as the EN ratio grows. DW
300 comprises software with an algorithm capable of varying the EN ratio up to 80 % [61].
Figure 14 is an illustration of a typical AC MIG/MAG
waveform. The first waveform (a) is characterised with a
conventional EN ratio limited to 30 %, adequate for aluminium welding. In the second AC waveform (b), the EN
component is divided in two areas: the base current and
