The Investigation of the Influence of Welding Flux on the Pyrometallurgical, Physical and Mechanical Behavior of Weld Metal
Abstract
The behavior of the physical, chemical and mechanical processes associated with submerged arc welding fluxes was characterized and mechanistically modeled. Of particular interest was the utilization of manganese and calcium silicate welding fluxes to achieve high performance submerged arc steel weldments. The determination of the specific role of the ionic additions on the behavior of these welding flux systems has been achieved. This investigation established a more fundamental understanding of welding flux behavior from which it is anticipated that a more sophisticated methodology will result for the future development of submerged arc welding consumables for advanced engineering steels.
