single submerged arc weld (SSAW)

A welding process in which a single pass is made using the submerged arc welding technique. Submerged arc welding involves the formation of a weldLocalized coalescence of metals produced by heating the materials to the welding temperature, with or without the application of pressure, or by the application… by melting the base metal and a flux-covered electrode simultaneously under a layer of granular flux.
