In research areas and in industries mostly used welding method is submerged arc welding, because of its numerous benefits such as higher deposition rate, high strength joint and high surface appearance. high efficiency, low operator skill requirement and ease of automation. The main aim of this review article is to explore the different works that have been done in the past for improving different properties of number of materials. This study also exhibits the effect of different welding process factors that affect the various responses like weld element transfer, weld bead, hardness, and deposition rate. Depending upon the need of past work data we can easily obtain any related type of work with the help of this review.

Keywords: Submerged arc welding, weld element transfer, Welding Variables, flux, Heat Affected Zone
