5. Arc wire projection

Here again, plasma is used, but in this process two wires are continuously advanced (ductile material wires) which serve as consumable electrodes for the arc (figure 15 ). . The direct-current arc melts the end of the wires. A high-velocity gas (usually air) blows the molten metal to the tip in the form of filaments transformed into droplets by the turbulent flow (figure
