Full course description

Course Description

All arc welding processes use an arc to complete a circuit and provide heat for the melting of materials. However, arc welding processes differ in how the arc is produced and controlled, how the molten weld pool is protected from oxidation, and whether it uses a consumable or nonconsumable electrode. In this module, we focus on the process of submerged arc welding.

By the end of this module, you will be able to

• Describe the process of SAW

• List common applications for SAW

• Explain the advantages and limitations of SAW

• Understand process-specific information and variables
