    Submerged Arc Welding

    Uploaded by

    shifa
    This document discusses submerged arc welding (SAW). SAW uses an consumable electrode and a blanket of granular flux that is deposited separately from the weld wire. An example flux and filler metal composition listed is F7A2-EM12K, which is used for welding steels with a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 70-95 ksi. The advantages of SAW include high deposition rates, no arc glare, minimal smoke and fumes, extra control from separate wire and flux addition, easy automation, and suitability for a variety of materials. Limitations include the flux obstructing the view, susceptibility to porosity from flux contamination, unsuitability for thin materials, restriction to flat welding positions,

    Submerged Arc Welding

    Submerged Arc Welding

    SAW Flux / Filler Metal


    Compositions

    F7A2-EM12K
    F indicates flux
    70-95 ksi UTS, 58 ksi minimum yield strength, 22%
    elongation
    A - as welded; P - postweld heat treated
    2 - minimum impact properties of 20 ft-lbs @ 20F

    E indicates electrode (EC - composite electrode)


    M - medium manganese per AWS Specifications
    12 - 0.12% nominal carbon content in electrode
    K - produced from a heat of aluminum killed steel

    Submerged Arc Welding

    Advantages

    High deposition rates


    No arc flash or glare
    Minimal smoke and fumes
    Flux and wire added
    separately - extra dimension
    of control
    Easily automated
    Joints can be prepared with
    narrow grooves
    Can be used to weld carbon
    steels, low alloy steels,
    stainless steels, chromiummolybdenum steels, nickel
    base alloys

    Submerged Arc Welding

    Limitations
    Flux obstructs view of
    joint during welding
    Flux is subject to
    contaminationporosity
    Normally not suitable for
    thin material
    Restricted to the flat
    position for grooves - flat
    and horizontal for fillets
    Slag removal required
    Flux handling equipment
