MIG Weld Deposition, Submerged Arc Welding

Hardfacing alloys can be applied through MIG weld deposition or submerged arc welding. In MIG welding, hardfacing wire is fed through a torch and melted by an arc, with a shielding gas protecting the weld pool from the atmosphere. In submerged arc welding, hardfacing wire is used along with a fluxing powder that flows around the wire, is melted by the arc, and forms both a shield and protective slag. Both processes continuously feed hardfacing wire to build up the workpiece surface.

MIG Weld Deposition, Submerged Arc Welding


In these arc welding processes, consumable hardfacing
wire is fed continuously from a spool through the welding
torch into the arc, where it is melted and transferred to
the workpiece.

In the case of MIG welding, also known as Gas Metal Arc


Welding (GMAW), the weld pool is protected from the
atmosphere by a stream of shielding gas. The MIG process Wire-Feed Mechanism
is very flexible it can be partially or fully mechanised
and is suitable for a wide range of applications.
Hardfacing Wire
Wire is also used as the hardfacing consumable in the
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process. In this process, a
mineral-based fluxing powder flows around the consumable
wire and is melted by the arc. It forms a gaseous shield
around the arc and also forms a slag on top of the weld
pool, shielding the cooling weld pool from the atmosphere.
