Dip transfer

From GAWDAwiki

In dip transfer, also known as short arc transfer, the welding wire is fed down to the parent plate, where it dips into the weld pool, causing a short circuit to occur. The welding current rises rapidly and the short circuit ruptures to detach some of the wire and re-establish the arc. ^[1]
