SAW Spiral Pipe Production
In this process, welding variables, which is namely welding current, arc voltage, weld speed, the diameter of the wire, number of the electrodes, chemical composition of wires and base metal, configuration of electrodes, total energy input applied to the material, welding flux type and chemical composition, bevel type and weld seam geometry are very effective on the welding quality and production speed.
The main problem faced in SAW spiral welded pipe production is the improper selection of the above-mentioned process variables. The incompatibility of process parameters with each other leads to major problems such as increased scrap or low welding speed. Therefore, a highly developed training program on submerged arc welding process is provided to increase productivity, improve weld seam quality and reduce operating costs.
