Abstract

An agglomerated submerged arc welding flux which offers the advantages of an agglomerated flux, namely lower cost, increased impact strength, greater formulation flexibility and operator appeal while, in other respects, performing like a fused flux, namely providing: high speed; high penetration; and low bead profile characteristics. The flux contains relatively large amounts of calcium oxide and titanium dioxide as essential ingredients together with other known fluxing ingredients in lesser amounts.
