The TIP TIG Dynamic HotWire Process!

The difference between TIP TIG Dynamic Hotwire Process and TIP TIG Dynamic ColdWire Processis only the preheating of the filler wire. The wire is preheated by a current being produced by a supplementary power source. The TIP TIG Dynamic Hotwire Process increases the calorific value of the fusion band by passing a current through the wire circuit. In permanent contact with the fusion band produced by the TIG arc, the wire becomes preheated via the Joules effect. As a consequence, at its entry into the welding pool the filler wire requires a lower arc energy. We observe an important increase of the quantity of deposited metal characteristics. The main advantages of the TIP TIG Dynamic Hotwire Process compared to those using a fusible electrode lies in the fact that TIG welding allows a managed separation of the quantity of arc energy and of the quantity of filler material introduced into the welding pool. This is an advantage because it allows total control of the starting and finishing (down-slope) phases of the welding cycle as well as the possibility to carry out repair procedures.
