Abstract
This chapter describes fundamental approach for determining the arc efficiency of consumable and non-consumable arc welding process and factors affecting the same besides the modes of metal transfer and their effect on quality of weld joint. Methods to obtain the melting rate using welding conditions and factors limiting the melting rate for common welding processes have also been elaborated.
