What Does ESW Stand For?
ESW stands for Electroslag Welding
Electroslag Welding (ESW) is a high-productivity, arc welding process primarily used for joining thick sections of structural steel. It involves the melting of the base materials using heat generated from an electric arc and the resistance of a molten slag, which provides thermal insulation and enhances weld quality. ESW is characterized by its ability to produce strong, deep welds with minimal distortion, making it ideal for applications in heavy construction, shipbuilding, and industrial fabrication.
