The transfer is spatter free and very stable. High DC currents and voltages and large-diameter electrodes are used with argon or an argon-rich gas mixture as the shielding gas. 2) In globular transfer, carbon-dioxide-rich gases are utilized, and globules are propelled by the forces of the electric-arc transfer of the metal, resulting in considerable spatter. High welding currents are used, making it possible for greater weld penetration and higher welding speed than are achieved in spray transfer. 3) In short circuiting, the metal is transferred in individual droplets (more than 50 per second) as the electrode tip touches the molten weld metal and short-circuits. Low currents and voltages are utilized with carbon-dioxide-rich gases and electrodes made of smalldiameter wire.
