Abstract
Calculation-experimental procedure was used to predict the ferritic matrix alloying level in a low-alloyed weld metal. Results of comparison of calculations made by the suggested procedure with the experimental data are presented, showing high reliability of the obtained predictions. A conclusion is made on the possibility of using the suggested procedure both for calculation of the solid solution alloying level and for evaluation of the optimal level of the oxidation potential of welding consumables.
Keywords: arc welding, low-alloyed steels, welding fluxes, weld metal, ferritic matrix, alloying level, oxidizing potential, design-experimental procedure
