6 Challenges When Increasing Deposition Rates

It is not a secret that increasing our deposition rates, measured in pounds per hour (kg per hour in metric units), can result in increased productivity. Deposition rate is the rate at which we are depositing weld metal.  It is different from the melt-off rate. Melt-off rate is the rate at which we consume our […]

Modes of Metal Transfer: Spray

Spray is a mode of metal transfer in which a fine spray of metal droplets are projected axially from the tip of the electrode to the work.  These droplets are smaller in diameter than the electrode.  This mode of transfer is characterized by high wire feed speeds (high amperage), high voltage and consequently high heat […]
