What is Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)? Definition, Process, Types, Advantages, Disadvantages & Applications
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is an automated or semi-automated welding process in which an electric arc is formed between a continuously fed electrode and the workpiece. The process is conducted under a blanket of granular flux, which prevents contamination, minimizes spatter, and ensures a high-quality weld.
