At Oostendorp, we use the Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process as the solution for heavy industrial applications, such as welding large steel structures and pipes. SAW offers us exceptional depth penetration and weld integrity, which is crucial when working with thick materials such as carbon steel and low-alloy steel.
What makes SAW so powerful is the protective flux layer that completely shields the weld pool from atmospheric influences. This ensures unparalleled weld purity and increases the strength of the weld seam. At Oostendorp, we have invested in fully automated SAW systems, which allows us to efficiently execute large welding projects without compromising on quality.
This approach is particularly important for critical applications such as pressure vessels and pipes for power plants, where the integrity of the weld seams is of vital importance. Our advanced technology, combined with in-depth expertise in SAW, makes us a reliable partner for projects that require maximum durability and strength.
