The self-regulation in MIG arc is known to be resulted from three factors, i.e. (1) intrinsic self-regulation, (2) effect of power source characteristics, and (3) Joule's heat by electric resistance of wire. In this paper, they are considered theoretically and formulated in rather general standpoint. Then, especially of stainless steel (308) electrode wire, calculated values of parameters defining self-regulation are given and discussed.
