Submerged Arc Welding - One of The Most Practical Steel Pipe Welding Technology

The full name of SAW is automatic submerged arc welding, also known as automatic arc welding under flux layer, which is one of the most practical steel pipe welding technology today.

Ideal for critical applications such as pipelines, pressure vessels and tanks, railroad fabrication and large construction, submerged arc welding technology can benefit users of many welding applications. From increasing productivity to improving the working environment to ensuring consistent quality and more. Metal fabricators who are considering a change to the submerged arc welding process should consider that there are many benefits to be gained from the process.

Advantages of Submerged Arc Welding:

The submerged arc welding process is ideal for industries that require high productivity, especially those involving welding of very thick materials, and can offer many benefits. Its high deposition rate and travel speed can have a significant impact on worker productivity, efficiency and production cost, which is one of the key advantages of submerged arc welding technology.

Other advantages include:

- Excellent welding chemistry and mechanical properties

- Minimal arc visibility

- lower welding fumes

- Improved working environment comfort

- Good weld shape and toe line

- High weld quality

- Good working conditions

Application Scope of Submerged Arc Welding:

At present, it is mainly used for welding various steel plate structures. Weldable steel types include carbon structural steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant steel and its composite steel. Submerged arc welding is most widely used in shipbuilding, boilers, chemical containers, bridges, hoisting machinery, metallurgical machinery manufacturing, marine structures, nuclear power equipment, etc. In addition, submerged arc welding is also ideal for surfacing wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloys or welding nickel-based alloys and copper alloys.
