The welding process which uses a blanket of fusible granular flux is

1. tungsten inert gas welding
2. submerged arc welding
3. electroslag welding
4. thermit welding

Correct answer: submerged arc welding

Solution

Submerged arc welding involves the use of a granular flux that covers the weld area, protecting it from contamination and allowing for deeper penetration and a smoother finish.
