As additive arc welding process welding is be distinguished if by a welding filler, for. B.

Wire or powder, with the use of heat takes place a Volumenauf construction. This is layer by layer of

Welding filler applied, connected by melting material conclusive with a component to be connected or Darun terliegenden layer and thus accomplished the volume structure.

Methods based on a similar principle and therefore also suitable, are, for. For example, the following: Laser Job Welding or Plasma Powder Job Welding, DMD (Direct Metal Deposition), LMD (Laser Metal Deposition) and 3DMP (3D Metal Print). ,

In the MPA process, a main gas, preferably water vapor, is accelerated in a Laval nozzle. Powder particles are injected shortly before the Laval point. The powder particles are accelerated to supersonic speed and thus impinge on a substrate or a component. The high magnetic energy of the powder particle is converted into heat upon impact, whereby the particle adheres. Since the powder particles are not melted, there is only a small energy input into the component. In the MPA process, several nozzles can simultaneously apply different powder particles. Thus, a component can be created which has at least two different materials.

The 3DMP process is based on the arc welding process and uses wire as the starting material. Welding caterpillar for welding bead hereby a workpiece is printed. The 3DMP process has the advantage that many materials are already available as wire but not as powder. In addition, wire as a material is cheaper than material in powder form. The 3DMP method also offers a high build-up.
