Abstract:
In the present work an attempt has been made to review the effect of activating flux when used with normal GTAW process, to understand the mechanisms involved behind the working of the flux, to understand the effect of different oxide fluxes on GTA welding parameters and mechanical properties of the weld. Gas Tungsten arc welding is an arc welding process that uses an arc established between a non-consummable tungsten electrode and the work-piece for joining of two similar or dissimilar metals with the application of heat or pressure or both with or without the use of filler metal. It produces high quality weld with ease and there is precise control of welding parameters but it gives shallow weld penetration, lower productivity and hence it is mainly used for welding work-pieces with thickness less than 2.5 mm in a single pass. The use of activated flux in conventional GTAW process is one of the most significant advancements for overcoming the shortcomings of GTA welding, which helps in increasing the depth of penetration and depth to width ratio of the weld pool, thereby increasing the productivity of the process and also it helps in achieving better mechanical properties.
