Abstract

Submerged arc welding is conducted employing CaF2-SiO2-MnO fluxes with varying MnO content under high heat input of 60 kJ/cm using EH36 shipbuilding steel. Transfer of elements between slags and weld metals is quantified. Mn and O transferred from slag to weld metal increase with MnO addition, whereas the transfer of Si seems to be independent of MnO content. Factors that govern the transfer of elements between slag and weld metal are evaluated.
