1. Introduction. SAW is a unique welding method since it involves the arc which is completely submerged under the layer of granular flux. During welding, this flux that contains lime, SiO 2, MnO, CaF 2 and other compounds reacts with the contaminants in the molten weld metal and forms slag. Thus, slag is considered as waste material.
recycling reduces waste sent to landfill by thousands of pounds each year, while saving businesses thousands of dollars on new flux. This is an excellent example of economics …

What is Submerged Arc Welding? Submerged arc welding (SAW) was invented back in 1935 by the E. O. Paton Electric Welding Institute in Kyiv, Ukraine. This method gained significant attention for its application in the construction of the T34 military tank. SAW is an arc welding process using a continuously fed consumable wire. Here, …
The slag generated during submerged arc welding is thrown away as a waste. Non-biodegradable nature poses problems of storage, disposal, soil pollution and also needs landfill space for dumping. It cannot be used as a filling material in building construction or elsewhere being glassy and brittle material.
Recycling presents a waste-free solution to substantial disposal of welding slags which retain most components originated from the original fluxes. However, …
The study was undertaken to reduce these problems with submerged arc welding slag. For recycling SAW slag, Agglomerated fluxes were prepared by mixing different amounts of alloying element and deoxidizer (by hit and trial) to the milled slag and using potassium silicate as a binder. ... transforming them through a simple powder technology and ...
Hardfacing coatings were produced using Submerged Arc Welding. The type of powder in the mixture, amount of powder input and welding variables do influence the microstructure and type of formed alloys. In hypereutectic alloys, different morphologies were developed which could be interpreted as the undercooled condition of each alloy …
The first SAW patent was taken out in 1935. The process requires a continuously fed consumable solid or tubular (metal-cored) electrode. The molten weld and the arc zone are protected from atmospheric contamination by being "submerged" under a blanket of granular fusible flux consisting of lime, silica, manganese oxide, calcium fluoride, and …

A shielding gas is not required. Prior to welding, a thin layer of flux powder is placed on the workpiece surface. The arc moves along the joint line and as it does so, excess flux is recycled via a hopper. Remaining fused slag layers can be easily removed after welding. As the arc is completely covered by the flux layer, heat loss is extremely ...

How the Submerged Arc Welding Process Works. Submerged arc welding gets its name from the process itself. The welding process is invisible to the eye as it happens under a thick layer of flux – the flux is conductive when molten, allowing the current to pass to the workpiece without any sparks, splashing or fumes.

Since in this process, welding arc and the weld pool both are completely submerged under mound of granular fusible and molten flux; therefore, it is called submerged arc welding. During welding, granular flux is melted from the heat generated by arc and forms a shield/cover of molten flux layer (Fig. 13.1 ).
Coatings. The coatings of welding electrodes for welding mild and low alloy steels may have from 6 to 12 ingredients, which includes: Cellulose – to provide a gaseous shield with a reducing agent in which the disintegration of cellulose produces the gas shield surrounding the arc; Metal carbonates – to adjust the basicity of the slag and …
