The mode of metal transfer in arc welding significantly affects the positional weldability; particularly the overhead welding, the chemical composition and properties of weld metal, metallurgy of weld metal, weld pool stability, arc stability, spatter losses, and weld bead geometry. The mode of metal transfer is affected mainly by the type of the arc, welding current, electrode polarity, arc voltage, contact tube to plate distance (CTPD)/Stand-off, type and flow rate of the shielding gas, torch angle and alloying elements in GMAW of aluminium and its alloys.
