Globular Metal Transfer in MIG Welding

This wonderful video shows MIG welding process with a globular transfer mode.

The article - A scientific application oriented classification for metal transfer modes in GMAW welding explains that “Globular metal transfer is encountered when operating the welding process with low to moderate current and moderate to high voltage (i.e., extended arc lengths), thereby avoiding short-circuits. Large droplets, reaching diameters of 1.5–3 times the wire diameter, and very low droplet transfer rates, in the order of 1–10 droplets per second, characterize this transfer mode” (10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2012.01.021).

The footage was taken at 1,000 frames per seconds with our CAVILUX laser illumination and a high-speed camera. of MIG weld. Our technology allows you to efficiently filter out the bright thermal light generated by the welding process, thus enabling you to see details like you have never seen them before. Replaying this MIG footage in super slow motion and having access to individual frames is an excellent tool that is used by researchers as well as companies around the world to make new discoveries, increase their manufacturing process accuracy, and enhance their production efficiency.
