ONE SIDED ARC WELDING
Mar 13, 2022
A term generally applied to
welding applications in which all of the
filler metal is deposited from one side. The resulting welds are usually free of imperfections on the backside so that it should not be necessary to do any
welding on the backside.
Submerged arc welding (SAW) has been considered a “one-sided” method. For the most part,
welding can be completed from one side, but sometimes there may be imperfections that necessitate back-
chipping or
gouging and
welding on the underside.
