Sintered welding flux
Sintered welding flux is produced by thermal sintering and offers a homogeneous distribution of alloying elements and deoxidizers. It enables precise control of weld metal chemistry.
Physicochemical Mechanism of Action
Sintered welding flux is produced by sintering metal particles at elevated temperatures. This results in a dense, homogeneous bonding of the particles without complete melting. The alloying elements and deoxidizers are evenly distributed, which improves the quality of the weld.
Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding
The homogeneous distribution of elements and agents ensures better control of the metallurgical properties of the weld. This reduces susceptibility to cracking and improves strength and corrosion resistance. However, incorrect sintering or insufficient distribution can lead to imbalances in the alloy, negatively affecting the weld.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Use sintered welding flux for welding jobs that require precise control of the alloy. Make sure the flux is sintered correctly and the distribution is homogeneous. Regularly check the quality of the flux and adjust sintering parameters to achieve optimal results.
