Flood welding has deposition rates up to 60+ pounds an hour. This high energy additive process is the mig process, using very high amperage power sources(1000+) and large diameter wire filler material. Both solid wire and cored wire(sheath filled with alloyed powder and flux) are routinely used. Very large areas and volumes of repair and refurbishment can can be accomplished quickly and efficiently.
Heavily damaged or severely cracked tooling is prepared for welding using the carbon arc gouging process and or CNC machining.
