Submerged arc welding
Submerged arc welding is an arc welding method where the arc burns underneath the welding powder. The filler material is introduced with a separately fed welding wire or wire feeder. During welding, the welding powder on the welding seam melts on the surface of the weld and generates a protective slag layer. The welding powder can also contain metal powder, which will melt into the weld as filler material during welding.
Submerged arc welding is almost always implemented in at least a partly mechanised form, and therefore high productivity can be attained when doing long welds. Submerged arc welding is commonly used in medium-heavy and heavy machine industry and docks.
