he submerged arc welding (SAW) process can achieve high productivity and deep penetration, making it an important process for joining large diameter and/or thick-walled components such as pressure-vessels, linepipes, bridges, and ships. SAW typically uses direct current electrode positive (DCEP) polarity because of power source availability, good arc stability, and deep penetration.
Greater deposition rates are possible with direct current electrode negative (DCEN) polarity, but can result in reduced penetration and arc stability. Alternating current (which shifts polarity rapidly from DCEP to DCEN) has traditionally employed a sinusoidal waveform, resulting in less time at peak current (reducing wire deposition) and more time at periods of low voltage (reducing arc stability further). However, the use of a square waveform mitigates both issues in AC SAW. Additionally, modern SAW power sources allow the welding operator to manipulate waveform variables (such as balance, offset, and frequency), providing greater control over deposition rates and penetration depths.
submerged arc welding (SAW)
Sub arc welding is a process in which the welding actually occurs while submerged under a layer of flux. Not only does this prevent oxygen from entering the weld and thus porosity, but it also keeps the dangerous arc from sputtering and spattering from the weld.
alot im guessing
saw stands for suberged arc welding, where the weld is submerged underneath the flux
Agglomerated
Submerged arc welding is called "submerged" because the high voltage electrical current (called the "arc") that heats the metal and wire to weld together is submerged underneath layers of granular earth materials called "flux". About 50% to 90% of this flux can be re-used and fed back into the system with the proper equipment.

SAW welding is a type of arc welding while ERW welding is spot or seam welding. SAW stand for submerged arc welding while ERW stands for electric resistance welding.
The heat input in the case of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is higher than that in manual welding process. Reason is that the welding proceeds continuously while the work is rotated. In manual welding, it is controlled by the welder besides the time gap for changeover of electrode, relaxation by operator etc.
INCONEL alloy 600 is readily joined by conventional welding processes. Welding materials for joining alloy 600 are INCONEL Welding Electrode 182 for shielded metal-arc welding*, INCONEL Filler Metal 82 for gas tungsten-arc and gas metal-arc welding, and INCONEL Filler Metal 82 and INCOFLUX 4 Submerged Arc Flux for the submerged-arc process. Welds made with INCONEL Welding Electrode 182 may have decreased ductility after extended exposure to temperatures of 1000° to 1400°F (540° to 760°).
Double Sub-merged Arc Welding usually associated with spiral welded pipe. The welding arc is submerged in flux to protect from air impurities, this process is done on both the id and od seperately hence double submerged.
The arc welding process that deposits a layer of granular flux over the weld area is known as Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). In this method, the welding arc is submerged under a thick layer of granular flux, which protects the weld pool from atmospheric contamination and helps to stabilize the arc. The flux also contributes to the formation of a slag layer that can improve the quality of the weld. This process is commonly used for welding thick materials and in industrial applications due to its efficiency and effectiveness.
