Gas Welding Arc Welding---TIG, MIG, SAW

Why Submerged Arc Welding? 1. 2. 3. 4.

It provides higher metal deposition rate and allow to join higher thickness plates It provides flux shield that prevents weld metal from atmospheric contamination High arc efficiency about 95-97% Spatter losses are minimum as arc is covered under blanket of flux. 5/13/12

Need for designing of manufacturing processWelding

Major disaster happened due to improper designing of joints are

Alexander Kielland platform123 people died Ship failure without warning during second world

war Reasons--- Change of failure mode from ductile to brittle Crack growth and fatigue failure In order to avoid happening of such disasters, 5/13/12 designing of such processes and structures manufactured by such process is of great
