Increasing Productivity with Submerged Arc Welding

Submerged arc welding (SAW) is a high deposition rate process when compared to gas metal arc welding (GMAW) or gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).  Certain applications such as large flat panels, girth welds in pipe, or spiral pipe mills can benefit from techniques used to increase the deposition rate, and consequently, the productivity of the […]

High Productivity Cladding Option – Strip Cladding

EWI has capability in high productivity strip cladding. If you desire an increase in productivity, strip cladding may be a solution for you. There are two variations of strip cladding, submerged arc and electroslag. Electroslag strip cladding (ESC) can achieve deposition rates of over 75-pounds-per-hour when using a 60-mm wide strip. Compare this to submerged […]
