| Abstract: | It is of great significance to determine the critical transition current from globular transfer to spray transfer in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) because metal transfer modes affect the weld quality and welding productivity. In this study, a simple model is developed to calculate the critical transition current based on the analysis of various forces exerted on a pendent droplet at the electrode tip. It is found that the force exerted by the incoming molten metal from the wire on the drop, i.e., the term  | |
