Abstract
Results of development of the technology for butt welding of pipelines under field conditions are presented. Advantages of new types of flux-cored wires with the rutile type core, used with the VD-506DK rectifier, are shown. Recommendations for selection of shielding gas mixtures and welding conditions are given.
Keywords: arc welding, seamless flux-cored wires, bridge structures, pipelines, welding technology, weld metal, mechanical properties
