Submerged Arc Welding: A Review

Abstract

In industries and research organizations most widely used welding methods are shield metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and submerged arc welding (SAW). The SAW process is often preferred because it offers high production rate, high melting efficiency, ease of automation and low operator skill requirement. This review will be very helpful for providing the details for future work. This study expose the different works have been done in the past for improving different properties of welded material. This study also exhibits the effect of different welding process parameters that affect the weld chemistry. Depending upon the requirement the details of past work will we easily obtained for future work with the help of this study.
