The process of welding with solid wire (GMAW) and cored wire (FCAW) processes that compete in quality, productivity and operational, need reliable information of its main features and applications for a given welding condition. Thus, the goal is to compare the capability of each process in the horizontal welding carbon steel ABNT 1020, varying the type of shielding gas on the same level of welding current and voltage to maintain a constant deposition rate per unit length. For this study we used the wire E71T-1 and ER 70S-6 under the shielding 100% CO2 gas and Ar +25% CO2 in two bands of four current and voltage ranges. We evaluated the stability of metal transfer mode and short-circuit capacity through income and presence of deposit discontinuity. In general, the process using a tubular wire had a higher deposition rate compared to solid wire, but with lower performance deposit. It was noted that, the same current range and with increasing voltage range, there was a change in transfer characteristics for both processes. With regard to straining of the weld beads, the solid wire bends showed better with lower voltage ranges. Cored wire for the values of runoff was similar, with a condition better than solid wire for higher values of welding voltage (region of predominance of metal transfer carried by the flow without short circuit). The shielding gas 100% CO2, for both processes, which was provided better performance and higher deposit with transfer voltage ranges with a predominance of short-circuit.
