The effect of flux chemistry on element transfer in Submerged Arc Welding: application of thermochemical modelling

Post-weld slag and weld metal analyses were used to interpret the effects of different commercial flux compositions on element transfer between molten flux (slag) and weld metal in Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). Selected fluoride based flux compositions cover a wide range of basicity index (BI) values...
