This study's objective is to develop a theoretical model and efficient          control algorithm for microprocessor control of the arc length in               automated gas metal arc welding systems.  The system performance is to          experimentally evaluated.  Control of the arc length is important since         it can greatly affect the quality of the well produced.  The Department         of Commerce indicates that half of the gross national product is                associated in one way or another with welding and joining processes.            Gas metal arc welding is among the fastest growing arc welding                  processes.  Development of this methodology proposed should have a              substantial impact on the advancement of automatice gas metal arc               welding.
