Watch The Beautiful Technique That Is Submerged Arc Welding

Submerged arc welding (SAW) is a special form of arc welding that uses a pile of powdered materials to "submerge" the welding process and protect from sparks and splatter. It's typically used on carbon steels and provides a high quality weld that goes very deep. It's also pretty awesome to see in action. Shall we?
SHARE this satisfying video of SAW with your friends on Facebook. This is too cool.

In this shot from the video, you can see the powdered materials used to "submerge" the weld and contain the sparks and splattering caused by welding.

The weld itself is made of a separate "filler" metal below.
