Study of Submerged Arc Welding by Bonded Fluxes (3rd Report)

Transfer and yield efficiency of metallic component in fluxes

Abstract

Bonded fluxes are analogous to coated flux of manual electrode in the production method and the chemical composition of deposit metal can be easily regulated though addition of deoxidizers and alloy components in fluxes.
It is necessary to investigate the transfer and yield efficiency due to addition necessary alloy components in deposit metal.
This report is made to introduce an experimental equation from the relation between welding conditions and extent of penetration, deposit metal and melt slag and to estimate transfer and yield efficiency of alloy components in fluxes through chemical analysis of deposit metal.
