Short answer: Submerged arc welding (SAW) feeds a bare wire under a blanket of granular flux so the arc is completely buried and invisible, delivering very high deposition rates, deep penetration and clean, slag-free welds on thick plate — ideal for longitudinal and spiral seams in pressure vessels, storage tanks, ship hulls, bridges and heavy structural fabrication.
