Cladding system employs preheated filler wire, tandem electrodes

Polysoude offers the TIGer cladding system. It uses preheated filler wire and incorporates a system of two tungsten electrodes in tandem configuration. This allows the ignition of two electrical arcs, which, by way of mutual attraction, combine to convey a single heat source.

This single heat source has a lower arc pressure than in classic tandem configurations, yet it can reach much higher cladding speeds and deposition rates than the standard GTAW/GMAW hot wire process, states the manufacturer.

The system is suitable for horizontal and vertical cladding of both inside and outside components.
