Abstract
A method of large current gas shielded arc welding wherein the welding is accomplished at high speed by a single electrode or tandem sequence electrodes in an atmosphere of a mixed shielding gas comprising essentially of an inert gas with an addition of less than 30% of carbon dioxide gas or less than 5% of oxygen and supplied at an overall flow rate of 50 to 200 l/min by using large diameter solid wire consumable electrodes of low alloy steel material with a diameter of 3.0 to 6.4 mm .phi. under the following conditions: welding speed 300 to 1500 mm/min; welding current, 600 to 1500 amp; and arc voltage, 23 to 36 volts. With this method, the welding of steel can be accomplished at high speeds with a reduced heat input and an improved efficiency and it is particularly well suited for the welding of open tubes for very low temperature line pipe which must retain a high degree of toughness at very low temperatures.
