SUB ARC Welding
Introduction to Submerged Arc Welding Wire
Submerged Arc Welding Wire is a solid continuous electrode employed within the SAW process, which creates an arc under a cover of granular flux. This special technique protects the arc and molten weld from atmospheric contamination, leading to a clean, hard, and imperfection free weld. SAW stands out from other welding processes in that it is characterized by:
- High deposition rates for quick welds
- Deep weld penetration perfect for heavy sections
- Low spatter and low fumes for cleaner operations
- Improved weld quality with less post-weld cleaning
