  • SUBMERGED ARC WELDING SYSTEMS AND SUBMERGED ARC WELDING TORCHES TO RESISTIVELY PREHEAT ELECTRODE WIRE
    Publication number: 20240017343
    Abstract: Submerged arc welding torches and systems to resistively preheat electrode wire are disclosed. A disclosed example submerged arc welding torch includes: a first contact tip configured to transfer weld current and preheating current to the wire; a second contact tip configured to conduct the preheating current to the wire; an air-cooled first conductive body portion configured to receive the weld current and to conduct the weld current and the preheating current to the first contact tip; an air-cooled second conductive body portion configured to receive the preheating current and to conduct the preheating current to the second contact tip; and an insulator coupled between the first and second conductive body portions.
    Type: Application
