Well then if it's not CMT is, the process still a form of GMAW-P?
Or is it a hot wire GTAW process with the use of what is named & sold by Ed Craig - the TIP TIG, dabber like GTAW process whereby the wire is also pulsed fed to whatever parameters it's set to, and separate from the pulse parameters set on the power source???
Or this is something you came up with because you wanted to get back at me or Lawrence or even both, for the comments we had on your opinions regarding the Uhlig weld overlay thread??? Well if I hurt your feelings then, please fill out this report and it will processed ASAP.
from the look of what i am seeing there is way too much perfection. that was not done by a human, that all has to be mechanically and it looks like an automated tig with a feeder that is set to pulse and feed the wire and it is on a jog set up.
It does not appear to be FCAW or SAW. Also not GMAW with GTAW wash. A GTAW, PAW or hybrid GMAW-Laser should be smoother between the beads. I'm thinking pulsed GMAW.
A properly setup hot wire puddle would look more fluid and be larger. Even the small hot wire overlays I've done the puddle is 5/8" wide. At best I'd say that puddle is 10mm (3/8") wide. Pulsed current "warm wire" welds could get that small, but the ridges don't look as cold. Not to say that either of these processes can't make a deposit this nice, because I'd personally done it, but I tend to agree that this was made with a GMAW type process. The welds look too cold to be TIG.
Sorry for late response guys I've been on holiday, no computer and no welding bliss :) Pretty close Burnie nozzles were rotated on mini positioner, torch indexed on a bugo carriage , power supplied by an OTC conventional pulse tig unit , wire was fed by one of our Hot Wire Tip Tig units . I'm really liking these things easy to set up and relatively forgiving and the weld quality is obvious .
