Abstract
This chapter presents the basic components of gas metal arc welding process and the principle of standard gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and pulse GMA welding process with the help of suitable schematic. Further, the influence of welding parameters on melting rate and metal transfer has also been presented. Further, the factors affecting the metal transfer in MIG welding process have been elaborated.
