    Submerged Arc Welding (Saw)

    Uploaded by

    Ramesh R
    Submerged arc welding (SAW) involves an electric arc formed below a blanket of powdered flux between a continuously fed electrode and the workpiece. The flux protects the weld zone while generating a shielding gas and slag. SAW allows for high deposition rates without external shielding gas due to the flux blanket. It is well suited to welding carbon and alloy steels but requires slag removal and flux cannot be used on thin materials or in all welding positions.

    SUBMERGED ARC WELDING (SAW)

    Submerged-arc welding (SAW) involves the


    formation of an arc between a continuously
    fed electrode and the work piece. A blanket
    of powdered flux, which generates a
    protective gas shield and a slag (and may also
    be used to add alloying elements to the weld
    pool), protects the weld zone. A shielding
    gas is not required.

    SAW Flux / Filler Metal Compositions

    F7A2-EM12K
    • F indicates flux
    – 70-95 ksi UTS, 58 ksi minimum yield strength, 22%
    elongation
    – A - as welded; P - post weld heat treated
    – 2 - minimum impact properties of 20 ft-lbs @ 20°F
    • E indicates electrode (EC - composite electrode)
    – M - medium manganese per AWS Specifications
    – 12 - 0.12% nominal carbon content in electrode
    – K - produced from a heat of aluminum killed steel
    Submerged Arc Welding

    Advantages
    • High deposition rates
    • No arc flash or glare
    • Minimal smoke and fumes
    • Flux and wire added separately -
    extra dimension of control
    • Easily automated
    • Joints can be prepared with
    narrow grooves
    • Can be used to weld carbon
    steels, low alloy steels, stainless
    steels, chromium-molybdenum
    steels, nickel base alloys
    Submerged Arc Welding

    Limitations
    • Flux obstructs view of joint
    during welding
    • Flux is subject to
    contamination porosity
    • Normally not suitable for thin
    material
    • Restricted to the flat position
    for grooves - flat and
    horizontal for fillets
    • Slag removal required
    • Flux handling equipment
