The influence of the shielding gas composition and the non-consumable electrode construction on the total and effective efficiency of welding was studied. It was found that value total efficiency is at minimum at 25 % helium content and is increasing with the He concentration growth in the gas mixture. The alteration of arc force impact on the welded metal depending on the current rate, shielding gas composition and cathode processing history was demonstrated. It was found that the arcs with a focused cathode spot feature higher value of the integral forced impact on the welded metal, comparing to the arcs with a diffuse cathode spot, regardless the shielding gas composition.
