Abstract
A hot wire welding process. An induction coil is used to preheat the filler metal wire prior to its entering the welding puddle/arc region. An induction coil is placed in close proximity to the welding arc. The filler wire is guided by the delivery nozzle so that the filler wire passes through the center of the induction coil. The induction coil induces a current flow in the filler wire. The current produces heat as a result of the electrical resistivity of the filler wire. The heat produced raises the temperature of the filler wire just before it is fed into the weld arc region, thus reducing the energy required from the welding arc to melt the filler metal wire into the weld puddle.
