Abstract
Abstract A melting flux composition for submerged arc welding which comprises 6-15% by weight of MgO, 5-10% by weight of CaO, 10-20% by weight of CaF 2 , 14-19% by weight of Al 2 O 3 , 20-25% by weight of TiO 2 , 15-20% by weight of SiO 2 , and 5-10% by weight of MnO. Optionally, the composition further comprises B 2 O 3 or other oxide components, such as iron oxide and alkali metal oxides.
