Application of agglomerated fluxes for welding of low-alloy steels (Review)

V.V. Golovko

E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NASU 11 Kazymyr Malevych Str., 03150, Kyiv, Ukraine.

Abstract
It is shown that agglomerated fluxes are characterised by higher metallurgical activity, compared with the fused ones. Their application fields in fabrication of facilities from structural low-alloy steels are given. It is noted that development of these type of welding consumables holds high promise.
Keywords: welding, low-alloy steels, agglomerated flux, metallurgical properties, welded joints, performance
