Abstract
A hot wire welding system including a non-melting metal electrode, a supply of filler metal to be fed to a weld puddle formed by an arc, a D.C. power source for supplying both an arc current and a filler metal heating current, a first control circuit for controlling the filler metal heating current with a constant voltage characteristic, and a second control circuit for controlling the arc current with a constant current characteristic. By eliminating one of the two power supplies which was required in prior art systems, a significant reduction in size and complexity is obtained.
