18K views · 241 reactions | Submerged Arc Welding Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is a joining process that involves the formation of an electric arc between a continuously fed electrode and the workpiece to be welded. A blanket of powdered flux surrounds and covers the arc and, when molten, provides electrical conduction between the metal to be joined and the electrode. #welding #metallurgy #metallurgicalengineering #materialsengineering #materialscience | Metallurgical engineering | Facebook

"Submerged arc welding with a drag gun. There is no exposed arc because it is hidden under the flux which is partially consumed in the welding process." - Shawn Barrett #ILoveWelding | American Welding Society
