Abstract
The aim of this work is to study the difference between the crystalline phases of used fluxes and obtained slags after Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). It is well known that The weld pool solidifies into the weld metal while the lighter molten flux floats on the top surface and solidifies as a slag layer that can be easily removed .The effects of individual flux ingredients as well as their interaction effects on weld metal composition have been investigated in this paper. The mass concentrations between fluxes (FA, FB and FC) and slags (SA, SB and SC) summarize the physico-chemical behavior of elements transfer between base metal, filler metal, flux and slag forming during welding of pipelines by SMAW process. The analysis of different fluxes phases and slags by X-ray diffraction allowed to detect the presence of different crystalline phases, which were formed at low temperature (T <1000°C) heat treatments, and during fluxes confection. As for the slags, the presence of new crystalline phases which have been formed at high temperatures.
