An arc welding system providing improved molten metal droplet transfer. The system includes a welding power source having a welding power supply, a welding waveform generator, and a controller. Two fluxed cored welding wire electrodes are connected to the power source and are powered by the same welding output voltage and current produced by the power source. A feedback circuit is connected to the power source to provide an adaptive response to maintain an average welding output voltage. The controller controls the waveform generator and the power supply to superimpose welding current pulses onto a welding waveform of a CV flux cored arc welding process, that uses COas a shielding gas, to generate a modified waveform of a modified CV flux cored arc welding process. The current pulses are superimposed in time to form molten metal droplets between ends of the two electrodes during the modified welding process.
