Electro-slag welding
...C). Addition of the following alloying elements to the feed wire help to increase impact resistance: 0.04% cerium, 0.2% each of manganese, chromium and nickel. Adjusting the composition of the flux to give a basicity of 0.5–2.0 by addition of 10–30% CaF2 and 10% Al2O3 also helps to improve impact resistance of the weld. Post-weld heat treatments can also improve the...
