Analysis of the melting behaviour of CaF2-free welding fluxes using hot thermocouple techniqueBy S Basu, S L. A Gowravaram
CaF2 has been a common constituent in a wide variety of welding fluxes, including those used for submerged arc welding (SAW). The widespread use of CaF2 stems from its role in lowering the liquidus te
