Mechanical Engineering : Workshop Technology - Quiz(MCQ)
Which of the following welding method uses a pool of molten metal?
A)
MIG arc welding
B)
TIG arc welding
C)
Submerged arc welding
D)
Carbon arc welding

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   Submerged arc welding


Explanation : 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.
