The arc behaviors, droplet transfer and process stability with different distance between the tips ( d 1 ) of the main wire and side wires and the feeding speed of main wire (FSM) were studied. With the increase d 1 and FSM, the droplet transfer mode of main wire varied from explosive transfer to short-circuit transfer to bridge transfer. When the d 1 was greater than 4 mm, the continuous contact transfer bypass coupling triple-wire indirect arc welding can be realized and the welding process stability was improved. With the d 1 adjusted from 0 mm to 6 mm, the standard deviation of the current dropped from 123.8 to 53.8 and its variation coefficient from 117.33–39.24% at FSM = 1 m/min. The weld penetration and weld width reduced with the FSM increasing, while the weld reinforcement gradually increased.
