Underwater welding repairs involve specialized techniques to fix marine structures submerged in water. These repairs are critical for maintaining ships, offshore platforms, and pipelines. The process requires skilled divers and advanced equipment to ensure structural integrity and safety.
Size: Typically ranges from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch diameter for welding electrodes.
Grade: Common grades include E6013, E7018, and E308L for stainless steel.
Viscosity: Specialized waterproof coatings with low viscosity for ease of application underwater.
Buoyancy: Electrodes are designed to be neutrally buoyant or slightly negative to prevent floating.
Material: Carbon steel, stainless steel, or nickel-based alloys depending on application.
Water Depth: Operates up to 300 meters (984 feet) with standard equipment.
Current Type: Direct Current (DC) with reverse polarity (DCEP) commonly used.
Shielding Gas: Not typically used; flux coatings provide protection.
Tensile Strength: 60,000 to 70,000 psi for standard electrodes.
Hydrogen Content: Low-hydrogen electrodes to minimize cracking risks.
Corrosion Resistance: High for marine environments, often with additional coatings.
Welding Speed: Slower than dry welding due to water cooling effects.
Heat Input: Higher than conventional welding to counteract water cooling.
Visibility: Requires clear water or turbidity-reducing measures.
Safety: Insulated tools and hyperbaric chambers for deep welding.
