Concepts of flux melting by thermal radiation of the arc column in electric arc welding have been analysed. It is established experimentally that the main thermal effect is produced by a plume formed in a running arc. Its physical impact is observed simultaneously, being manifested in formation of flows in the slag that transfer the heat from the plume to peripheral zones
Keywords: arc welding, arc column and plume, flux melting, weld pool
