Spherical welding powder

Spherical welding flux consists of fine, round particles and is used for submerged arc welding. It has optimized flow properties and improves weld quality.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

Spherical welding powder consists of fine, round particles produced by granulation. These particles have a high surface area and can dissolve quickly in the weld pool liquid. The optimized flow properties ensure that the powder dissolves well and is evenly distributed.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

Using spherical welding powder improves weld quality through better dissolution and distribution. It reduces porosity and increases weld strength. However, insufficient powder or incorrect dosing can lead to uneven weld density and missing properties.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use spherical welding powder in the prescribed amount. Ensure that the powder is well dissolved and evenly distributed. Incorrect dosing or poor dissolution can lead to uneven weld density and missing properties.
