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!
Thanks in advance!

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