NARROW-GAP IMPROVED ELECTROSLAG WELDING FOR BRIDGES

An advanced welding technology called electroslag welding (ESW) is being transferred to state transportation agencies and bridge fabricators via a Federal Highway Administration demonstration project. This brief article defines ESW as a process that joins metals with heat generated by the passage of electric current through molten conductive flux, melting the filler and base metals. Demonstration program objectives are listed in a sidebar.
