Hyperbaric dry underwater welding (Review)
V.Ya. Kononenko
SE «Ekotekhnologiya», Kiev, UkraineAbstract
World experience in the field of technologies of underwater welding in a dry chamber is considered. Features of their application in assembly, manufacturing and repair of critical structures and constructions are shown.
Keywords: arc welding, dry underwater welding, habitable chambers, coated electrodes, flux-cored wires, mechanical properties of the joints
