Which of the following welding method uses a pool of molten metal?
A
Carbon arc welding
B
Submerged arc welding
C
TIG arc welding
D
MIG arc welding
Correct Answer: Submerged arc welding
This is a well established and extremely versatile method of welding. Submerged-arc welding (SAW) involves the formation of an arc between a continuously fed electrode and the work piece.A blanket of powdered flux, which generates a protective gas shield and a slag (and may also be used to add alloying elements to the weld pool), protects the weld zone. A shielding gas is not required.
