E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NASU. 11 Kazymyr Malevych Str., 03150, Kyiv, Ukraine.Abstract
Advantages and disadvantages of flux-cored wires of the PP-AN60 and PP-AN62 grades developed by the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute are considered. Results of metallographic examinations of distribution and composition of non-metallic inclusions in metal of the welds made with wires of the oxide and fluoride types are presented. Recommendations for application of the developed wire grades are given.
Keywords: self-shielded flux-cored wires, deposited metal, chemical composition, mechanical properties, distribution of non-metallic inclusions, welding-technological characteristics
