Air Receiver tank welding process
Time: 2025-12-08
As a professional air receiver tank manufacturer, YCZX has rich experience on air receiver tank welding, we use difference welding process on different air receiver tank materials and components.
Carbon steel and stainless steel air receiver tanks
- Submerged arc welding: for longitudinal seam welding - the longitudinal weld along the axial direction (length direction) of the air receiver tank body. Submerged arc welding has advantages such as stable welding quality, high production efficiency, no arc light, and less smoke and dust.
- Gas metal arc welding(GMAW): for circumferential deam welding-the transverse welds along the circumference of the air receiver tank body, such as the connecting welds between the tank body and the end caps, or the circular joints when multiple sections of the tank body are joined together.
Stainless Steel Mirror-Finish air receiver Tank:
- Longitudinal seam welding: Uses submerged arc welding process.
- Circumferential seam welding: Uses argon arc welding process to ensure the smoothness and quality of the welded surface.

Features:
- Submerged arc welding is a welding method in which the electric arc burns beneath a layer of flux. Submerged arc welding has advantages such as stable welding quality, high production efficiency, no arc light, and less smoke and dust, make it a primary welding method in the manufacturing of important steel structures such as pressure vessels, pipe sections, and box girders and columns.
- TIG welding uses argon gas for shielding and is suitable for easily oxidized metals such as stainless steel and aluminum. It is more expensive but produces aesthetically pleasing welds.
- Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) typically uses carbon dioxide and is suitable for low-carbon steel. It is less expensive but produces more spatter.
