Electrogas welding in short termed as EGW. It is an advance technique of electroslag welding where in it gives much better designs and usage is easier. In Electrogas welding, electrodes are been meted instead of slag. Electrodes which are melted by forming an arc with the help of shielding gas, the process is same as the MIG/MAG welding.

Electrogas welding enables the flow of electrodes and work pieces into the cavity of metals which are welded. This welding can be carried on for the weaving of thicker metals around 12-100m. The joint which is formed here is a simple I-joint in where the gap is formed. Welders can also weld in V-joints. If the welder makes use of long electrode stick the speed of welding will be higher and the molten produced in base material will be less and the temperature also becomes lesser.

EGW can be helpful in welding steels and some stainless steel. The visibility of welding is much more visible to the welders. Welders have to be careful with the weld procedure as large amount of molten is present during the welding. Operators should put on all the necessary welding attires with additional safety and fire hazard. A constant voltage of around 30-50 V and power supply been around 100 -800 A is essential.
