The Submerged Arc Welding Process

The process defines welding excellence. It involves the creation of an arc between a continuously fed electrode and the workpiece. This arc operates beneath a protective shroud of powdered flux, which generates a robust gas shield and a slag. The flux may also include alloying elements that enhance the weld pool, all while eliminating the need for a separate shielding gas. During Submerged Arc Welding, the arc remains submerged beneath the flux, making it virtually invisible during the process. Success in SAW welding depends heavily on precise parameter settings and the correct positioning of the filler wire.

Why Choose SAW?

We understand the unique advantages of the process. This method excels in applications requiring longitudinal and circumferential welds, such as those used to manufacture cylinder rods and surfaces. What sets the technology apart is its unparalleled joint penetration and deposit efficiency. This makes it the go-to choice for ensuring the utmost structural integrity and quality in your welding projects.

Submerged Arc Welding Advantages

SAW welding capabilities extend beyond the ordinary. We can expertly join thicker materials, apply weld metal overlays for dimensional restoration, and offer corrosion-resistant and hard surface coatings. When tackling your welding requirements, we have the knowledge and experience to meet and exceed your expectations.
