    There are several arc transfer modes in gas metal arc welding including short arc, globular, and spray transfer. Short arc occurs at low currents and voltages and is suitable for out-of-position welding. Globular transfer has better deposition than short arc but increased spatter and is the normal mode with CO2 gas. Spray transfer has the highest deposition rate but is only suitable for flat welding and occurs at high currents and voltages.
