A system and method for use in brazing, cladding, building up, filling, overlaying, welding, and joining applications is provided. The system includes a high intensity energy source configured to heat at least one workpiece to create a molten puddle and a feeder system that includes a wire feeder configured to feed a consumable to the molten puddle. The system also includes an induction system which receives the consumable and induction-heats a length of the consumable prior to that part of the consumable entering the molten puddle. The method includes heating at least one workpiece to create a molten puddle and feeding a consumable to the molten puddle. The method also includes induction-heating a length of the consumable prior to that part of the consumable entering the molten puddle. |
