Bonding of splashes of molten metal in CO sub 2 welding with the surface of the welded component

CO sub 2 welding is used widely in many areas of industry. However, increased splashing and the associated bonding of splashed metal to the surface of parts of welding equipment and welded components increases the labor content and expenditure on the production of welded components as a result of the need to carry out operations to remove the splashed metal. To confirm the theoretical assumptions regarding bonding of the splashed metal, experiments were carried out with CO sub 2 surfacing, using Sv-08G2S (GOST 224-685) wire 1.6 mm in diameter, of beads on specimens of St3 steel.
