The invention discloses a single edge groove submerged arc welding technique of a plate with moderate thickness. The technique utilizes a DC (direct current) opposition method, and comprises the following technical steps: first to third layers on the facade: a phi 3.2 welding wire is utilized, the current is 380-400A, a rod is stretched by 2.8-3.0cm, the voltage is 24-25V, and the speed is 55-57cm/min; the other layers on the facade of the welding rail: a phi 4 welding wire is utilized, the rod is stretched by 3.0-3.5cm, the current is 560-600A, the voltage is 28-30V and the speed is 45-50 cm/min, or a phi 4 welding wire is utilized, the rod is stretched by 3.8-4.0cm, the current is 650-680A, the voltage is 33-34V, and the welding speed is 38-40 cm/min; and the back surface layer: a phi 4 welding wire is utilized, the rod is stretched by 3.8-4.2cm, the current is 680-700A, the voltage is 34-35V, and the speed is 34-36 cm/min. According to the invention, the submerged arc welding is directly used for bottoming, and no back chipping is performed on the back surface of the weld, thereby solving the complex welding method of the traditional technique, guaranteeing the percent of pass of the weld flaw detection, reducing the welding time and saving the welding material.
