Coated electrodes with the same. Flux cored wire manufacturer of ingredients are its unique formula. As the function of different consumables applicable. Flux is also composed of the different ingredients.
The basic function of the flux components are outlined below:
⑴ oxygen scavenger and nitrogen getter
Since nitrogen and oxygen can cause pores or weld metal embrittlement, the flux must be added, such as manganese and silicon oxygen scavenger, as Flux Cored Wire Self-shielded. Add AL flux takes another agent for nitrogen removal. Adding nitrogen over oxygen agents are agents that purify purpose except to fill metal melting.
⑵ slag forming agent
⑶ arc stabilizer
⑷ alloying elements
⑸ gas forming agent
