Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.18, p.1431 (1985). A model of metal transfer in open arc welding is developed which provides a framework for predicting the influence of welding parameters in steady and pulsed current welding. It is found possible to present results in terms of simple expressions which are in broad agreement with available observations. Considered here are aspects such as droplet evolution, detachment frequency and size, selection of pulse parameters, influence of electrostatic stress on transfer, drop dynamics and the relationship between balance of force approaches to transfer and the present instability model.
