Gas metal are welding has been generally accepted as the preferred joining technique due to its advantages in high production and automated welding applications. Separate control of arc energy and arc force is an essential way to improve the welding quality and to obtain the projected metal transfer mode. One of the most effective methods for obtaining separate control is to exert an additional force on the metal transfer process. In this paper, the droplet transfer process with additional mechanical force is studied. The welding system is composed of an oscillating wire feeder. The images of molten metal droplets are captured by a high-speed digital camera, and both the macroscopic appearance and the cross-sectional profiles of the weld beads are analysed. It is shown that the droplet transfer process can be significantly improved by wire electrode oscillation, and a projected spray transfer mode can be established at much lower currents. By increasing the oscillation frequency, the droplet transfer rate increases while the droplet size decreases. In addition, the improvement in the droplet transfer process with wire oscillation leads to an enhancement of the surface quality and a modification of the geometry of the weld beads that could be of importance for overlay cladding and rapid prototyping based on deposition by welding.
