Microwelding with Wire

 
The appropriate size microwelding wire is selected to fill the scratch in the mold surface.  It is very difficult to use the rolling technique on wire because of the tendency for the electrode to slip of off the repair material.  A better method of microwelding wire is to file small "flat" on the radius of the E332R electrode.  Rather than rolling the electrode, slide the electrode to a new position after each micro weld. If model KWX2 is being used, it is best to set the weld speed at Manual, with Model KWac set the weld speed at it's lowest setting.
 

The cross sectional picture shows the wire filler material positioned over a scratch in the molds surface.  After the microwelding process (as shown above) the second cross section shows how the repair material has flowed into the scratch, filling the void.  The repair material is permanently bonded to the mold during the microwelding process.  The next step would be to remove the excess repair material using standard finishing techniques.  Generally there is less excess repair material using the KwikWeld Microwelder so the finishing process is also simplified.
