Submerged arc welded (SAW) steel pipe, commonly known as submerged arc welded pipe, is a type of welded steel pipe manufactured using the submerged arc welding process. This welding method involves the formation of a welded joint between the edges of a steel plate or coil strip, while the welding arc is submerged beneath a layer of granular flux. The flux serves multiple purposes, including shielding the arc, stabilizing the molten weld pool, and facilitating the removal of impurities.
SAW steel pipes find extensive applications across various industries due to their numerous advantageous properties:
High Strength: SAW steel pipes possess high tensile strength and toughness, making them suitable for applications requiring structural integrity and durability.
