Advantages of SAW Welding: Efficiency, Quality, and Cost Savings
Introduction
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is a set process of automatic welding in which a continuous feed of filler/electrode, melted by an electric arc between the electrode/filler and the work, is used. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of the SAW welding process, mention the advantages, and explore our offerings.
Understanding SAW Welding
SAW welding is the welding process of high productivity, normally automated/mechanized. It is involved in forming an electric arc between the workpiece and the continuously fed electrode. A blanket of powdered flux layer 2 covers and protects the electric arc. This process does not require the use of an additional shielding component, like inert gas.
SMAW Electrodes and Rods
Essentially, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is referred to as "stick" welding, as the electrodes utilized during the welding process have such kind of terminological nomenclature. In the center of the SMAW electrode is a bare metal rod chosen to closely match the base metals in the weld joint. SMAW electrodes come in a variety of metallurgy and sizes, and each one has its own specific purpose.
Welding Wire
In Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), all the deposit required for a weld comes from a spool of metal wire. The wire would reel off the wire feeder of the welding machine. The wire feeds each time the trigger of the welding gun is pulled. When the wire comes into contact with an electrically grounded workpiece surface, arc initiation is produced, and at the same time, the process of melting the base metal commences.
Advantages of SAW Welding
SAW welding offers several advantages:
High Deposition Rates: SAW welding has higher deposition rates than other welding processes.
Deep Weld Penetration: It offers deep weld penetration.
High-Speed Welding: SAW is faster than traditional welding processes.
Electrical Efficiency: It offers high electrical efficiency.
Minimal Welding Fume or Arc Light Emission: SAW welding emits minimal welding fume or arc light.
Conclusion
The large-scale acceptance of SAW welding in the industry is due to its efficiency, quality, and cost reductions in welding. We at D&H Sécheron offer an entire range of world-class quality SAW welding products, having thickness, specifications, grades, and sizes as needed by diverse customer needs. Our products are engineered to give perfect results and help raise the efficiency level.
