Abstract
A method for continuously applying hardbanding to an oil and gas tubular or building up a worn oil and gas tubular that includes low heat input welding without compromising the mechanical properties of the tubular. The method includes preparation of the surface of the oil and gas tubular and applying a consumable wire to the surface. The consumable wire may be hardbanding or buildup material with a hardness that is similar to the hardness of the oil and gas tubular.
