The Effect of the Use of PTFE as a Covered-Electrode Binder on Metal Transfer

AbstractStudies have shown that when used as binders for basic covered electrodes, polymers produce a weld metal microstructure with a high acicular ferrite content. The reasons identified for this behavior include changes in the shielding atmosphere and metal transfer mode. To investigate the effec...
