Short technical articles from our production and R&D team on the materials that go into welding consumables and steel making.
Hard-facing deposits get their wear resistance from the carbides distributed through the weld metal. Which carbide you form — and how hot the job runs — decides how long the component lasts.
Read articleA flux cored wire is a delivery system for alloy. Twelve elements — from carbon and manganese through to boron — and what each one changes about the deposit.
Read articleFerrosilicon is an alloy of iron and silicon smelted in a submerged arc furnace. In welding electrodes and flux cored wires, the atomized grade earns its place five separate ways.
Read articleFused, agglomerated (bonded) and mechanically mixed fluxes behave very differently in submerged arc welding. How each is made, and how active, neutral and alloying fluxes change the deposit.
