- 39 - WELDING PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF A STEEL PIPE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed herein is an improvement of a welding process for welding a steel pipe, wherein a gas metal arc welding is performed to form the first welding layer and a submerged arc welding is performed to form the last welding layer. According to the conventional gas metal arc welding process, i.e. the MIG or CO2 welding processes, the combined use of a high welding current and a welding wire having a small diameter is known to bring about the rotation of the welding arc and the formation of an undercut along the toe of the weld metal. The purpose of the present invention is to weld a steel pipe having either a large thickness or an excellent ductility at a temperature of less than -40°C, or both. According to the present invention, the combined use of a high welding current and a wire having a small diameter is possible, by employing a gas mixture containing an inert gas as a major part thereof and CO2 as an additional part thereof as a shielding gas. In addition, by adequately selecting the wire extension, the gas metal arc welding is improved to provid the features of: deep and round penetration; stable arc formation with stiffness of the arc, and; high metal deposition rate.
