Re: check this out a welder that uses water
Steam plasma has been around awhile.. someone made a portable one, great.
There are some interesting articles if you Google on how on the high power (30KW) versions they use a low flow of argon as a shielding gas to ~prevent consumable erosion with great success.
OK, no ones going to be welding sheetmetal with it.
Is it a viable substitute for a OA and/or plasma cutting setup?
The wire feeder might make it a viable welder, curious how that turns out.
Might be usable for plasma spray coating/welding/surfacing as well?
