3. Submerged flux-cored welding

Main characters :

Electrode: fusible metal wire continuously unwound.

Protection: simultaneous application of composite powder called flux.

Current: DC and AC.

3.1 Process description

Submerged arc powder welding (SAFP) is the automation of coated electrode welding. It combines a fusible wire electrode, unwound from a reel, with protection provided by vapors from a composite powder comparable to the coating and delivered directly to the arc zone, but independently of the electrode. This arrangement makes it possible to produce multi-hour, uninterrupted welds. This process is also known as submerged arc welding (SAW).
