Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is a high-productivity, fully or semi-automated welding process that uses a continuously fed electrode submerged under a flux blanket. This provides excellent weld quality, deep penetration, and minimal defects — while allowing continuous, high-rate deposition ideal for heavy fabrication, pipelines, shipbuilding, pressure vessels, large storage tanks, structural steel work, and long-seam welding. SAW also offers significant cost and labour savings, reduced rework and cleanup, and improved consistency — making it a top choice for industrial-scale welding.
