In the case of the electrodes of less refractory coatings, or lower arc voltage; the electrode tip takes the form as shown in Fig. 3b and no particles are generated from the tip, so the material transference occures always accompanying the mechanical contact between electrode and the base metal at ordinary arc length. In the case of the electrodes of gas generating type, this mechanical contact accompanies mostly electrical short circuit (Photo. No. 56), but in slug type electrode, electrical short circuit does not always occures. (Photo. No. 61).
The 182nd picture of Photo. No. 61 shows the abrupt change of the are foot in the electrode side, and we can see the corresponding abrupt arc voltage rise from the accompanying oscillogram. The cause of the above mentioned phenomena is supposed to be explained by Fig. 29. In general there are two types in the abrupt change of the arc voltage, as shown in Fig. 30 (a) and (b). Fig. 30 (a) shows the abrupt change occured by the lengthening of the arc length. due to the magnetic arc blow, and the trapezoidal. wave form of voltage is its characteristic. Fig. 30 (b) is due to the abrupt change of the arc foot simillar to Photo. No. 61 and is likely to occur in the coated electrodes. Some examples are shown in Fig. 31-34 (Fig. 31 and 32 are the case of overhead welding)
As the bridging path between the electrode and the base metal has some electrical conductivity, a part of the welding current flows in this bridge parallel to the arc as illustrated in Fig. 36 So in the case of a. c. the current (i in Fig. 36) from the source flows only in the bridge path for a small interval of current zero phase, and the wave form of the terminal voltage becomes like P Q in Fig. 35 (b), and differs from the wave form of the ordinary arc with no bridge. (Fig. 35 a). An example is shown in Photo. No.62 and its corresponding oscillogram, and the picture A correspond to the point P in the oscillogram.
