Abstract
Relationship between parameters of tungsten-electrode argon-arc welding using activators (A-TIG welding) and weld parameters, electrode life and stability of the process of formation of a welded joint in welding structural steels is considered.
Keywords: argon-arc welding, activating flux, inert gases, welding parameters, tungsten electrode life, weld formation, welded joints
