Abstract:
The sources, mechanisms, and expected levels of oxygen and nitrogen contamination during gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, shielded metal arc, self-shielded metal arc, and submerged arc welding are reviewed. Calculations indicating the importance of decomposition of SiO2 into silicon monoxide and oxygen are presented, indicating that silicon transfer between the slag and metal occurs by a gas-metal rather than a slag-metal reaction mechanism. A model suggesting that arc stabilizing additions to fluxes should provide volatile subspecies upon heating is also discussed. Author
