Assessment of efficiency of using thin flux-cored wires in welding ship hull structures

摘要

Characteristic types of welded joints in ship hull structures made with thin flux-cored wires (FCW) manufactured locally and abroad, have been determined. It is shown that application of rutile-type FCW of 1,2 mm diameter, alongside with improvement of the deposition rate, provides a reduction in the deposited metal coat in mechanized and robotic welding of ship hull sections.
