  • Abstract
    CONSUMABLE steel electrode arcs in argon atmospheres of controlled impurity possess a type of cathode instability which is affected by electrical, chemical, and geometrical parameters. A study of cathode instability and the accompanying fluctuations in arc voltage and current have been made. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss these manifestations as related to the welding of structural carbon steel.
