Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.):• From the chart showing the effect on metal transfer by changes in shielding gas it is seen that an addition of 2% oxygen to tan argon GMAW using DCEP caused the arc to stop wandering and have good spray transfer. Can you explain from a physical point of view what might have happened?

Processes Using Constant Current
Processes UsingConstant Voltage
• SMAW• GTAW• PAW• Processes where humans control arc length by hand
• GMAW• FCAW• SAW• Processes that use constant velocity wire feeding
Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.):• In the V-I Characteristic Curves, there are two places where the Arc current and voltage are the same as the power supply current and voltage, one point is stable and the other is unstable. Why is the unstable point unstable?
