The submerged arc welding process is the most widely used arc welding process for joining thick plates and pipes. The features that distinguish submerged arc welding from other arc welding process is granularly fusible material termed as flux. The flux used in submerged arc welding contributes a major part (above 50%) towards the total welding cost. The properties of weld metal have been found to be dependent upon flux-electrode-base metal-composition on welding parameters. Flux and filler metal play a central role in ascertaining property of weld metal. In the present work, the effect of...
