Submerged Arc Welding Basics

The Submerged Arc Welding process is ideal for the critical applications of piping, pressure vessels and tanks, railroad track fabrication and major construction, and is available in the simplest form of single filament, double filament, tandem double filament and multi-filament configurations.


The Submerged Arc Welding process is suited to the requirements of heavy industrial applications such as piping, pressure vessels and tanks, locomotive manufacturing, and heavy construction/excavation. Ideally suited for industries requiring high productivity, especially those involving the welding of very thick materials, there are very many benefits to be gained from the submerged arc welding process.


Its high deposition rate and travel speed can have a significant impact on worker productivity, efficiency and production costs, which is one of the key benefits of the submerged arc welding process.


Other benefits include welds with excellent chemical composition and mechanical properties, minimal arc visibility and lower welding fumes, improved comfort in the work environment, and good weld shape and toe-in.


Submerged arc welding is a wire feeding mechanism that employs a granular flux to separate the arc from the air. As the name implies, the arc is buried in the flux, meaning that when the parameters are set, along with the subsequent layer of flux, the arc is invisible.


The wire is fed continuously by a torch that moves along the seam. The arc heats up and melts a section of wire, part of the flux and the base material, forming a molten pool which condenses to form a weld seam covered with a layer of slag.


The thickness of the weld material ranges from 1/16“-3/4” and can be welded with 100% penetration by a single pass, or multiple passes if the wall thickness is not a limitation and the weld is properly prepped selecting the proper wire flux combination.
