In this paper, the results of an investigation dealing with short circuit gas metal arc welding with the emphasis on process stability are presented. Welding runs were made under different conditions and, during each run, the different process parameters were continuously monitored. It was found that maximum process stability is reached under specific welding conditions. Outside this maximum, either irregular material transfer takes place with a tendency for open arc droplet transfer or stubbing of the welding wire in the weld pool starts to occur, accompanied by highly irregular melt-off behavior. The results show that process stability is directly related to weld pool oscillation. More specifically, it appears that process stability is maximum when the short circuit frequency equals the oscillation frequency of the weld pool. Under these conditions, the weld pool touches the droplet at the end of the electrode at every oscillation, which results in regular droplet transfer and high stability of the overall welding process.
