“…This results in the variation of the mass of the combusted flux in unit time, reduces the amount of the flux transferred into the arcing zone, and disrupts the stability of the welding process. The stability of transfer of the activating flux into the arc can be improved by deposition of the flux on the surface of welding wires 1 , see Lenivkin et al 3 and Voropai et al 4 In this method, the surface of the melt and the arc are subjected to the simultaneous effect of the gas and the condensed phases of the flux, which form as a result of heating of the activating coating.…”
