Abstract

Flux welding is a notable, reliable, and adaptable method of combining metals among other welding techniques. Flux welding is an arc welding technique that employs a substance known as "flux" to shield the weld pool from any chemical reactions with atmospheric constituents while welding. Flux materials often comprise borax, hydrochloric acid, or zinc chloride. In the process of flux welding, a joint is covered with a layer of flux, or alternatively, a flux-coated or flux-cored electrode is employed. Upon the formation of the weld pool, the flux undergoes melting and adheres to the pool, thus safeguarding it against any potential reaction with air constituents. This manuscript describes equipment used in mechanized flux welding process in order to improve its performance. Lincoln Electric NA-3N submerged arc welding equipment on a universal lathe longitudinal carriage was designed. The equipment was mounted on a carriage with a maximum longitudinal travel of 2380 mm and a maximum transverse stroke of 410 mm. This carriage moves the welding equipment. The longitudinal advance allows longitudinal and transverse welding on this system.
