WELDABILITY STUDY OF AISI 1035 STEEL USING HYDRATED RB26 ELECTRODE BASED ON WIC TEST METHOD (AWS B4)

In tropical regions where relative humidity is high throughout the year, ambient water vapor content will be rapidly picked up by welding electrode’s flux. Arc contaminated by hydrogen from the damp flux will increase risk of defects in welded joint, especially hydrogen cracking. In this work, we...
