Definitions
- the present invention relates to a granular flux for electric arc welding, and , more particularly to a novel basic Ti/Bor flux with a small amount of titanium and boron.
- an advancing welding wire moves through a granular flux so an electric arc between the wire and workpiece melts the advancing wire and deposits a weld metal onto the workpiece.
- the flux is at least partially melted during the welding process and forms a slag over the top of the molten metal deposited on the workpiece.
- the slag is designed to protect the molten metal from the ingress of atmospheric impurities.
- the flux disclosed in the present invention has a high Basicity Index (BI) so that fine grain structure is obtained by use of small amounts of titanium and boron. Toughness of a weld metal is commonly determined by a Charpy test. High toughness weld metal normally requires use of a high BI (i.e., BI exceeding about 2). It has been found that a highly basic flux that includes small amounts of titanium and boron produces a fine grain size and a high toughness weld metal, thus resulting in a significant improvement of prior art welding fluxes. These patents are incorporated by reference herein as background information on fluxes to which the present invention is directed.
- BI Basicity Index
- a flux system that included a rutile based slag system drastically increased the amount of titanium in the weld metal, resulting in even more difficult slag removal from the weld bead. Even though the large amounts of titanium in the weld metal made it more difficult to remove slag from the weld bead, high levels of titanium were believed to be required to from the necessary toughness of the weld metal. In prior flux systems that included boron, the boron content was maintained at quite low levels since only a very small amount of boron is generally desired for fine grain size of the weld metal. 'The ratio of titanium to boron in the weld metal formed by these prior flux systems was normally at least about 10 : 1.
- the resulting weld metal formed by prior flux systems that included titanium and boron typically required the weld metal to be reheated so as to improve the toughness of the weld metal.
- the lower layer of weld bead can be reheated by the application of a molten weld metal on top of the lower layer of weld metal.

- FIGURE 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken generally along line 7-7 of FIGURE 6.
- the present invention relates to a basic flux that produces a high toughness weld metal.

- Joint 10 as illustrated in FIGURE 1 has diverging side walls 12, 14 that terminate in a lower root gap 16. This gap is filled by first laying root pass 20 between spaced plates 22, 24 to join the two plates to form an upwardly opening groove. The groove is filled by laying overlapping beads, such as beads 30, 32 on the top of root pass 20. The overlapping beads extend upwardly to the top overlapping beads 40, 42. The total stack of molten metal formed by the several overlapping beads is covered by upper cap pass 50. It is commonly desirable that the weld metal in joint 10 have a toughness generally equal to the toughness of plates 22, 24.
- transformation area 60 has a fine grain size and a high toughness; however, the as-cast outboard areas outside this transformation area are not hardened or toughened.
- Charpy impact test specimens 100, 102 and 104 ar ⁇ machined from areas A, B and C, respectively of joint 10.
- Each of the specimens includes a standard notch 110 to define the impact area of the specimen.
- Specimen 100 shown in FIGURE 1 A has the notch 110 in the as- . cast area 120 with refined area 60 outbome of notch 110.
- the Charpy impact test for area A merely measures the as-cast, less tough portion of joint 10.
- Specimen 102 is cut from joint 10 with transformation area 60 corresponding with the test notch 110. This specimen tests the hardness of transformation area 60 located between as-cast area 122, 124.
- test results from specimen 100 are different from the test results from specimen 102. This difference reveals that the joint is weaker in certain.areas between plates 22 and plates 24.
- Test specimen 104 is taken from cap pass 50 and has no transformation area; therefore, the metal of specimen 104 is as-cast and has a toughness generally corresponding with the toughness of specimen 100. Depending on the property requirements needed by a welding joint, the toughness of the weld metal in specimens 100 and 104 may be considered unacceptably weak. If this determination is made, joint 10 must be reheated to transform the as-cast material into a fine grain metal to obtain the benefit of most patented levels of titanium and boron used for forming joint 10.
- the flux system of the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of both the patented and commercial prior art used to form the joint shown in FIGURE 1.

- Flux F has controlled amounts of titanium and boron to provide as-cast grain refining and to also lower the amount of titanium so as to improve slag removal from the weld metal.
- the use of flux F results in a weight ratio of titanium to boron in the weld metal of about 1.5-2.0: 1.
- the titanium in the weld metal from flux F is drastically reduced to a range of about 10-12 ppm.
- the titanium in the flux itself is in the range of about 0.10 - 0.20 weight percent, whereas the boron in the flux is about 0.020-0.030 weight percent.
- the titanium in the weld metal is less than about 15 ppm and the flux contains a metal fluoride, such as, but not limited to, calcium fluoride.
- a metal fluoride such as, but not limited to, calcium fluoride.
- flux F is highly basic with a basicity in the range of more than 2.0; however, a more mild basicity index of 1.5-2.0 can be used.
- Flux can have a composition set forth in Table 1.
- the titanium source is titanium dioxide.
- the flux does not use a rutile slag system, but employs a fluoride basic slag system.
- the titanium dioxide can be partially or fully substituted by elemental titanium metal powder.
- the boron in the flux is provided by boron oxide; however, elemental boron metal powder can be partially of fully substituted for the boron oxide.
- Joint 10 is formed as described in FIGURE 2 by the use of an advancing welding wire
- Cored electrode 220 includes a sheath 222 and a core 224. Core 224 is illustrated as filled with flux F and any metal powder necessary for alloying. Cored electrode 220 can be a gas- shielded electrode or a self shielding electrode. Referring now to FIGURE 4, electrode 220 is • used in connection with bulk flux F 1 . This bulk flixx F' can be the composition as flux F; however, this is not required. Flux F in both of the embodiments set forth in FIGURES 3 and 4 facilitates in producing an as-cast metal having a high toughness without requiring transformation by reheating of the total joint 10 and with excellent slag removal.
- novel flux F can be used as coating 304 of stick electrode 300 having a center metal rod 302.
- Arc 310 between rod 302 and workpiece 312 deposits weld metal 320 onto workpiece 312 to form joint 10, as shown in FIGURE 1.
- Weld metal 320 has fine grain as-cast condition to provide a high toughness layer of metal on workpiece 312.
- flux F has been shown to produce high toughness weld metal when employing submerged arc welding, shielded gas flux cored welding, stick electrode welding or other types of electric arc welding.
- the flux of the present invention has a reduced amount of titanium with small amounts of and boron.
- slag- 340 formed on weld metal 320 creates a very weak bond at interface 350 as shown in FIGURES 6 and 7. Consequently, slag 340 can be easily removed from weld metal 320 after the weld metal has solidified.
- the reduction in titanium in the weld metal has been found to substantially reduce the holding force between the slag and weld metal when using novel flux F in any of the various welding processes illustrated in FIGURES 2, 3, 4 and 5. Slag removal can be measured by a standardized procedure developed by The Lincoln Electric Company and disclosed in pending application S.N. 11/180,321 filed on July 13, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference.
