Comparative analysis has been performed of the processes of automated gas-shielded, self-shielded flux-cored wire arc and submerged-arc welding for repair of metal structures of large-sized tanks. Considered are the technological features of performance of various types of welds, as well as principles of development of specialized site welding machines. Experience of and prospects for application of new developments are described.
Keywords: automated arc welding, low-alloyed steels, butt welds, overlap joints, tee joints, shielding gas, self-shielded flux-cored wire, site welding machine, tanks
