Plasma Transferred Arc (PTAW) Surfacing with Powder - info wanted

Plasma Transferred Arc (PTAW) Surfacing with Powder - info wanted

Plasma Transferred Arc (PTAW) Surfacing with Powder - info wanted

(OP)
I am trying to get up to speed ASAP on the state of the art for bulk weld cladding of large steel components for corrosion and/or wear resistance by PTAW + powder alloy. I am not talking about valve seats and the like, I am interested in cladding by the acre on plate and large-diameter pipe. Info on welding equipment makers, consumable vendors and welding parameters are welcomed, including published papers/texts.

Thanks in advance!

Are you restricted to process you mentioned?
Could you use an oscillating submerged arc system or possibly strip cladding? Those processes with cover the acreage you list.

(OP)
I am considering every possibility, but I already have extensive experience with conventional processes, including twin wire SAW SS cladding. PTAW w/powder is reputed to be the best process for the application I have in mind.
