SAW (submerged arc welding) is an arc welding process that is ideal for welding thick steel sheets or creating long welds. It is commonly used for welding pressure vessels such as boilers, structural shapes like pipes, railroad and construction equipment, locomotives, and ships. During the sub arc welding process, the area being welded is covered with a thick layer of powdered flux and the welding arc is buried in the flux, which prevents spatter and fumes from being created and minimizes the operator's exposure to UV radiation. It also maximizes the quality of the weld by keeping contaminants out of the weld pool. A SAW welding machine provides electric welding current to a welding gun. Consumable electrode wire is fed to the gun to create an electrical arc that melts and fuses material from the workpiece and the electrode to create a weld.
