Submerged Arc Welding With Metal Powder Addition

Arc welding is one of the most indispensable methods for joining metals for the construction of steel structures and the fabrication of machinery. The reliability of steel structures and machinery depends on the quality of the welds. In industries like shipbuilding pressure vessel off-shore aviation heavy construction the need for higher metal deposition rate welding is always required to increase productivity. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process can achieve a high deposition rate which leads to a significant impact on productivity and efficiency. The aim of this book is to provide essential information about the improvement in the deposition rate in the Submerged Arc Welding process. The book “Submerged Arc Welding with Metal Powder Addition: (M-SAW)” is for researchers and industrialists who are working in the field of the Arc welding technology. The metal powder dispensing equipment is relatively inexpensive and is simple to operate. It can easily be attached to both fixed and portable equipment such as a tractor-mounted SAW head. Moreover the book describes the history principle and procedure of M-SAW.
