CSWIP 3.1: Submerged Arc Welding Overview

This document discusses submerged arc welding, including that it uses complete solid shielding by flux, has the highest heat input and weld deposition rate, and is only suitable for flat and horizontal welding positions. It also describes the two types of fluxes used as agglomerated or fused and their differences and applications.

Submerged Arc Welding(SAW)
CSWIP 3.1
CHAPTER 14
Submerged Arc Welding(SAW)
-Continuous welding process
- Highest heat input due to complete solid shielding by flux
- So highest weld metal deposition rate
- So highest current carrying capacity
- No spatter, UV light exposure
- Flux is provided from flux hopper
- Only suitable for PA & PB position
- Two types of flux- Agglomerated & Fused
CSWIP 3.1
CHAPTER 14
Submerged Arc Welding(SAW)
Agglomerated Flux Fused Flux
-More hygroscopic -less hygroscopic
-need baking & drying -needs only drying
-Can add alloying elements -cannot add alloying elements
-Basic type -acidic type
-used when weld requires -crystalline appearance
impact testing
-Powder appearance
CSWIP 3.1
CHAPTER 14
Submerged Arc Welding(SAW)
-process most prone to solidification cracking due to high dilution
rate (weld deep and narrow)
- SAW can use multi electrode system
- In multielectrode system, the arc can deviate from its fixed path,
called arc blow (due to like polarity)
- To avoid arc blow, the lead arc is DC+ve and trailing arc AC
