Making the Case for Metal Cored Wire in Submerged Arc Welding
—————
January 2026
Productivity is important in many manufacturing and industrial welding applications, but maximizing throughput without sacrificing quality requires careful selection of the process, equipment, and consumables. Submerged arc welding (SAW) is a powerful process that can improve productivity, weld quality, and consistency for the right applications. This mechanized, wire-fed process submerges the arc beneath a layer of granular flux, which shields the weld from atmospheric contamination.
One of the most critical..
