Abstract
A nonconvective mechanism of liquid melt degassing under the conditions of external electromagnetic impact in underwater welding is considered. It is established that the generated buoyancy electromagnetic force acting on gas bubbles and promoting their removal from the melt, is several times larger than the Archimedean force. By its magnitude and influence on weld pool degassing, it is comparable with the centrifugal force generated in the melt rotating under the impact of an external electromagnetic field.
