The gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process can utilize various metal transfer<br />

modes. When using the low voltage, short circuiting mode (designated by<br />

the -S extension), the molten weld puddle is able to freeze more quickly.<br />

1. to weld out of position,<br />

2. to weld thin base metals, and<br />

3. to weld open butt root passes.
