Calculating Deposition Rates
Calculating Deposition Rates
(OP)
I am looking for a calculation to determine deposition rates for SAW. Preferable for twin-arc welding. (i.e two wires, one power source.)
Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Calculating Deposition Rates
I checked our Tech Library but we only have the 9th edition (Red Book) and the Green Handbooks. If you have access to the 8th edition, would you fax me a copy of the pages or post the calculation here? It would be greatly appreciated.

From ASM Metals Handbook Desk Edition, under SAW deposition rate I found the following:
"Deposition rates are very high (over 45 kg/hr for multi-wire systems). Deposition efficiency is 99% but that does not include the flux.(a 1:1 flux to wire ratio is common)"
Hope this helps.
