What is Plasma Arc Welding (PAW)?
Plasma Arc Welding or PAW is a welding process almost the same as the PTA.
They use the same method but differ on the materials utilized.
The difference is with the filler material you will use:
PAW uses filler metal in wire form
PTA uses filler material in powder form
What are the Fields of Application of PTA Welding?
Whatever industrial sector you are in, you can greatly benefit from PTA Welding.

What is TIG Welding?
TIG is short for Tungsten Inert Gas Welding.
It is a type of welding that produces the weld using a non-consumable tungsten electrode.
Is TIG Welding the Same as Plasma Welding?
No, TIG welding and PTA welding are two different welding processes. In TIG welding, you would form the arc using a tungsten electrode.
TIG welding is the process you can use for workpieces and surfaces that are thin and brittle.
In plasma welding, you would place the electrode in the torch and the arc is gas-infused. This ionizes the gas, forming the electrical arc.
Plasma welding is a process that is better known to cut materials and surfaces.
Can You Use TIG Welding Machines as a Plasma Cutter?
Yes, you actually can.
TIG welding machines have features that you can use to cut metal or steel. However, it might not be as good as a plasma cutter.

What is the classification of PTA welding machine?
PTA welding machine has several types.
(1) Cold-wire plasma welding
Use cold wire plasma welding wire as a filler material, without preheating directly into the welding zone for welding.
(2) Hotwire plasma welding
Hotwire plasma welding uses welding wire resistance of its own preheating and then sent to the plasma area for welding, single wire, or double wire feeding.
(3) Prefabricated plasma welding
Alloy is prefabricated into a specific shape and placed on the surface to be surfaced, which is then plasma melted to form the welding layer.
(4) Powder plasma welding
Powder plasma welding is a welding method in which alloy powder is fed into a plasma arc and melted to create a welding layer. Alloys are mostly made into powder, so powder plasma welding is available in a wide range of materials and is not limited by the ductility of materials like wire.
What is powder PTAwelding?
The alloy powder commonly used in powder plasma arc welding is mainly self-fusing alloy powder and composite powder.
Self-fusing alloy powder
Self-fusing alloy powders include nickel-based, cobalt-based, iron-based, copper-based, etc. The iron-based alloy powders are widely used because of the vast raw materials, low price, and good performance.
The iron-based alloy powder is widely used because of the complete raw materials, low price, and good performance.
However, nickel and cobalt are scarce metals with high costs and are generally only used for welding with unique surface properties.
(1) Nickel-based self-fusing alloy powders are divided into nickel boron silicon series and nickel-chrome boron silicon series.
(2) Cobalt-based self-melting alloy powder: B and Si elements are added to the cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy to form. The cobalt-based self-fusing alloy has excellent high-temperature performance, good hot strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal fatigue resistance. It is more suitable for a high temperature of 600 ℃ ~ 700 ℃ work of oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, wear-resistant surface coating. Such as high-pressure valve sealing surface welding.
(3)Iron-based self-fusing alloy powder can be divided into two types: austenitic stainless steel type self-fusing alloy and high chromium cast iron type self-fusing alloy.
(4) Copper-based self-fusing alloy powder: copper-based alloy scratch resistance, good plasticity, easy to process. Mainly tin-phosphor bronze powder and add nickel white copper powder.
Composite alloy powder
Composite powders are composed of two or more solid phases with different properties.
The composite powder structure can generally be divided into coated, non-coated, and sintered, and other different categories of powder.
What is PTA powder welding?
PTA powder welding, using the high temperature generated by the plasma arc, the alloy powder, and the substrate’s surface, will be rapidly heated and melted, mixed, diffused, and solidified together. The plasma beam leaves and cools itself to form a high-performance alloy layer. It strengthens and hardens the surface of your parts.
Plasma overlay welding VS Plasma spraying
In principle, the plasma arc is used to generate back to the heat source will be melted powder attached to the workpiece’s surface after the process.
Plasma arc welding consumables and the workpiece bonding strength is better. The metallurgical bonding, the welding layer thickness is thicker.
Plasma arc spraying is suitable for a thin layer, extensive area welding; the arc column is long and can be far from the workpiece welding.
Plasma welding VS laser welding
Plasma is arc welding, the laser is photothermal welding, and plasma is generally more efficient than laser. But extreme field lasers are more suitable.
Laser welding is the process of adding a cladding material to the surface of a substrate, using a high energy density laser beam to melt and condense it together with a thin layer. To form an additional cladding layer on the substrate’s surface, which is a metallurgical combination with the material.
What is the difference between two layers and one layer of the PTA welding machine?
Welding one layer is better in terms of strength.
If the dilution rate in terms of welding two layers better.
Another defect with the base material is what the material is related to the base material’s general hardness is less welding defects.
The thicker the cladding layer, the greater the probability of defects.
Plasma cladding VS Plasma welding VS Plasma spraying
Although they are all plasma welds, cladding, overlays, and blasting are not one process.
Plasma cladding is when alloy powder is used as filler metal, which is heated and melted together with the substrate surface to form an alloy layer.
Plasma welding is applied to repair thicker base materials, such as coal mills, cement mills, and rolls.
Plasma welding is used to repair components with thin base material or suitable for weldings, such as high-pressure boiler tube wall spraying and fan blade spraying.
What gases are used for PTA powder welding?
PTA powder welding is not recommended to use a mixture of gas. It is recommended to use argon gas. It is better to use mixed gas for welding only.
What is the reason that the hardness of plasma powder welding does not meet the standard?
First: different grades of alloy powder (welding consumables) have a corresponding hardness; you can see if the alloy powder problems.
Second, if a specific grade of powder hardness of HRC50, but the hardness after welding is not 50 degrees, it is possible to surface the thickness of too thin.
