Single wire vs. Twin wire
for 4130 build-up
• Single wire
o 3/32” wire, 350 amps at 85 ipm, 9.9 lbs./hr.
• Twin wire
o 3/32” wire, 600 amps at 85 ipm, 19.8 lbs./hr.

Tandem Arc vs. Single wire
• Higher currents
• More than double the deposition rate
• More penetration & dilution
• More control of the weld puddle
• Twice the travel speed
• Used for joining and would have limited
overlay applications
