Advantages and Disadvantages of Submerged Arc Welding

Advantages and Disadvantages of Submerged Arc Welding:

Advantages of Submerged Arc Welding:

• Submerged arc welding provides more deposition to joint the metals.
• It does not include scattered or splashed at the time of the welding process.
• Deep penetration is possible.
• There is a low chance for deformation.
• Clear and clean operation is possible.
• This type of welding process is fast.
• It includes a self-cleaning process at the welded area, due to deoxidation occurs by the flux at the time of welding.
• This type of process can be done through automatic control system also.
• It can work efficiently at open areas as possible as closed areas.

Disadvantages of Submerged Arc Welding:

• There is a chance to occur porosity at welding process.
• Thin metals cannot be welded correctly.
• It does not possible to weld in all positions.
• It is not easy to control the weld metal chemistry at the time of using alloys.
