Submerged arc welding (SAW)
Submerged-arc
¾ Need for continuous welding
gpprocess
¾ Separation of wire and flux
¾ Wire-feed motor to deliver bare wire
¾ No current limitation – no spatter
no air entrainment
¾ High currents, high current densities
Suited to thick sections (mostly steel)
¾ Automatic welding

Special Features
Pulsed TIG
• The pulsed current TIG welding the melting of the metal
is controlled by pulsing the current at a higher value and
at regular intervals
intervals.
Advantages:
• Welding of thin plates and foils
• Less heat input to work

Flux cored arc welding (FCAW)
Flux-cored
• Variant of MMAW, for continuous welding
• Also variant of GMAW, with flux addition
• In relation to solid
solid-wire
wire GMAW: Better arc
