Increase in stability of arc, burning under water, in flux-cored wire welding

Yu.Ya. Gretsky, S.Yu. Maksimov

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

Abstract
The results of studies conducted in a special chamber to simulate deep-water flux-cored wire welding conditions are given. The efficiency of introducing activating additions to the wire composition to stabilize the arc operating at high depths is shown.
Keywords: underwater welding, flux-cored wire, arc burning, hydrostatic pressure, stability of process, activating additions
