SAW welding process
As with MIG welding, SAW welding is all about creating an arc amid a consistently-fed naked wire electrode and the workpiece. The first thing that a metal fabricator does is to place a thin layer of flux powder over the surface of their work piece. The arc travels along the joint line, causing extra flux to be recycled through a hopper. Heat loss is usually low, as the arc is totally covered by the flux layer. This triggers a thermal efficiency of up to sixty percent.
