Electro Gas Welding (EGW)
Definition:
- Electro Gas Welding (EGW) is a vertical positioned arc welding

process, is used for welding the edges of sections vertically and in
one pass with the pieces placed edge to edge (butt joint)
- It is classified as a machine welding process, because for its

operation requires special equipment.
4
Equipment:
- Work piece
- Electrode
- Shielding gas
- Weld pool
- Cu shoe
- Wire guide
- Weld metal
5
6
Process:
- A filler wire electrode which is fed through a

copper nozzle, is melted by a shielded arc
-- The electrode is guided into the weld area by a consumable

electrode guide tube.
- The heat of the welding arc causes the electrode and work
pieces to melt and flow into the cavity between the parts being
welded together
-During this process, groove edges are fused.
7
Process:
- In relation with the ascending rate of the weld pool volume, the
welding nozzle and the copper Shoes are pulled upwards.
-- This molten metal solidifies from the bottom up, joining the
parts being welded together.
- In order to avoid poor fusion at the beginning of the welding,

the process has to be started on a run-up plate which closes the
bottom end of the groove
8
Process:
- If possible, any interruptions of the welding

process should be avoided
- Suitable power sources are rectifiers with a slightly dropping

static characteristic
9
Applications:
- Electro gas welding can be applied to most steels, including

low and medium carbon steels, low alloy high strength steels and
some stainless steels.
- The application of electro gas welding for low alloyed steels is

– more often than not - limited, as the toughness of the heat
affected zone with the complex coarse grain formation does not
meet sophisticated demands.
- Long-time exposure to temperatures of more than 1500°C and

low crystallization rates are responsible for this.
10
Applications: (High-Speed Electro gas Welding

Method)
- In this process, the gap cross-section is reduced and additional
metal powder is added to increase the deposition rate.
-By the increase of the welding speed, the dwell times of weld
adjacent regions above critical temperatures and thus the
brittleness effects are significantly reduced.
11
Electro slag Welding (ESW)
Definition:
- Highly productive single pass welding process for thick

materials in a vertical or close to vertical position
- (ESW) is similar to Electro Gas Welding, but the main

difference is the arc in (EGW) is not extinguished, instead
remains struck throughout the welding process.
12
Equipment:
- Base metal
- Welding boom
- Slag metal
- Filler material
- Metal pool
- Cu shoe
- Water cooling
- Weld seam
- Run-up plate
13
14
Process:
- An electric arc is initially struck by wire that is fed into the

desired weld location and then flux is added
- Additional flux is added until the molten slag reaching the tip of
the electrode, extinguishes the arc
- The temperature of the slag bath must always exceed the melting
temperature of the metal.
15
Process:
- The welding current is fed over one or more endless wire

Electrodes which melt in the highly heated slag bath.
- The metal work pieces and the filler metal are then melted
using the electrical resistance of the molten slag to cause
coalescence
- The wire and tube then move up along the work piece
while a CU shoe is used to keep the weld between the
plates being welded.
16
Process:
- The electro slag welding process can be divided

into four process phases :
1- ignition phase
2- Data-Increase-Phase
3- process phase
4- switch-off phase
17
18
Applications:
- (ESW) is mainly used to join low carbon steel plates and

sections that are very thick
- Can also be used on structural steel if certain precautions

are observed
* This process uses a direct current (DC) voltage usually

ranging from about 600A and 40-50V
19
The electroslag welding with consumable feed wire
-This method proved to be very useful for

shorter welds.
-The copper sliding shoes are replaced by fixed

Cu cooling bars and the welding nozzle by a
steel tube.
20
-The steel tube melts during welding in the

ascending slag bath.
-Dependent on the plate thickness, welding can

be carried out with one single or with several
wire and strip electrodes.
A feature of this process variation is the

handiness of the welding device and the easier
welding area preparation.
21
22
-Also curved seams can be welded with a bent

consumable electrode.
Likewise in electrogas welding, the electroslag

welding process is also characterised by a large
molten pool with a low heating and cooling rate.
23
Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:
-Due to the low cooling rate, good degassing

is possible.
-Pore-free hardening of the slag bath is
possible.
Disadvantage:
-The formation of a coarse-grain structure
