Submerged Arc Welding
How the Right Flux Unlocks the Full Potential of Submerged Arc Welding
A wide range of fluxes are available for the SAW process, including some that are specially formulated to bring specific properties and characteristics to the finished weld. With so many types of flux available, how do you know which option is the best choice for your application?

An operation that switches to submerged arc welding can double or even triple productivity and make more efficient use of labor time – outcomes that help justify the initial equipment investment.
Whether structural steel welding is taking place in an indoor shop setting or outdoors in the field is a factor that either introduces or eliminates a host of elements, including wind, the enemy of shielding gas and the welding processes that rely on it. Here are some insights to help you choose the right structural steel fabrication process for a field application or for shop welding.
Ideal for demanding applications in pipe, pressure vessel and tank, railcar manufacturing and heavy construction/mining, this process offers great benefits in its simplest form of single wire welding, plus more in twin wire, tandem wire and multi-wire SAW configurations.
PM aluminum tubing can be located closer to the welding process than laminated tubing, creating a more efficient pneumatic setup.
Lincoln Electric’s Prism Compact fume-extraction system for welding and cutting applications incorporates the Prism line’s vertical filter technology. Available in indoor and outdoor configurations, the short unit fits efficiently into smaller spaces.
Four Magnum PRO Curve HDE semiautomatic welding guns from Lincoln Electric provide the best of both worlds: They deliver the highest duty cycle in their class and maximize operator comfort with a new ergonomic design.
