Welding technology for metallic sheathing of offshore steel structures in seawater tidal and splash zones was described. Seawater-resistance stainless steel SUS 312L sheets of 0.4 - 0.6 mm in thickness were lap-welded on carbon steel pipes with the indirect seam welding process. Compared to conventional metallic sheathing methods, this method enabled to reduce material and fabrication costs. A combined welding method - indirect seam welding and plasma welding with Inconel 625 filler wire were preformed simultaneously - was developed to prevent crevice corrosion at severer environments. In case the metallic sheathes get damaged, a repair welding procedure was established.
