Abstract
A welding system configured to eliminate effects of arc blow in a welding operation. The welding system comprises welding circuitry, preheat circuitry, a drive roller, and control circuitry configured to perform a reciprocation cycle. The reciprocation cycle may include the steps of: advancing a filler material toward the welding work piece until the filler material is electrically connected to the weld pool; supplying the preheat power to heat the filler material while the filler material is electrically connected to the weld pool; retracting the filler material away from the welding work piece until the filler material is not electrically connected to the weld pool; and terminating supply of the preheat power to the filler material while the filler material is not electrically connected to the weld pool.
