CORED NON-ARC CONSUMABLE FOR JOINING OR OVERLAYING AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING CORED NON-ARC CONSUMABLES

摘要

Embodiments of the invention relate to consumables that are used with non-arc deposition processes, including hot-wire deposition processes. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention eliminate the use of arc initiators or arc stabilizers in the consumable. Other embodiments add additional amounts of carbonates in the consumable than would otherwise be present in consumables for arc welding processes. Similarly, other exemplary embodiments of the present invention include additional amounts of nitrides than would otherwise be present in arc process consumables. Other exemplary embodiments include carbides that are desired to be deposited through the non-arc processes.
