Agglomerated Flux
Welding flux agglomeration is a flux produced by mechanical processing and drying. It contains alloying elements and has a granular structure for uniform current transfer.
Physicochemical mechanism of action
Welding powder agglomeration consists of fine powder particles held together by mechanical binders. After drying, these particles form a granular structure. During the welding process, the particles enter the weld pool and react with the metals to combine alloying elements.
Metallurgical relevance & risks in welding
The granular structure ensures uniform current transfer and improves weld quality. However, incorrect processing or drying can cause deformation of the particles, leading to uneven current distribution and possible defects in the weld pool.
Workshop practice & instructions
Use welding powder agglomeration for special alloying tasks. Make sure the powder is processed and dried correctly. Check particle size and structure regularly. If there are issues with current transfer, check powder quality and drying.
