REDUCTION DEVICES FOR A GRANULAR HEALTH FLOW AND BACKGROUND PLACING SYSTEMS WITH REDUCTION DEVICES FOR A GRANULAR FLOW

摘要

Granular welding flux delivery devices and strip cladding systems with granular welding flux delivery devices are disclosed. A disclosed example granular welding flux delivery device includes a hopper having: an intake opening to receive granular welding flux; a chute; and an output opening to output the granular welding flux to an electroslag strip cladding process, a submerged arc welding process, or a submerged arc strip cladding process. The example granular welding flux delivery device further includes a chute divider positioned within the chute to reduce an intake rate of granular material through the intake opening by reducing a cross-section of the chute based on a dimension of the chute divider. The disclosed example granular welding flux delivery device includes an adjustable output cover attached to the chute proximate to the output opening to extend or retract a length of the chute by adjusting a location of the output opening along the chute.
