Our company is a welding wire manufacturer in China, we not only provide high strength steel wire, but also supply some knowledge about welding wire. Today I will introduce the pores that generated by welding.

The following are some of the stoma produced by welding:

1. Carbon monoxide pores

CO porosity is mainly due to the pool of FeO and C occurred in the following reduction reaction:

FeO + C = Fe + CO

This reaction is carried out more intensely when the bath is at the crystallization temperature. At the same time, since the molten pool has begun to solidify the CO gas is not easy to escape, so the formation of CO pores in the weld.

2. Hydrogen pores

Wire, the surface of the oil and rust, as well as the gas contained in the water contains hydrogen, they will be in the arc under high temperature decomposition of hydrogen. Hydrogen is hardly soluble in solid metals and easily soluble in molten metal. If the molten pool at high temperature dissolved into a large number of hydrogen, in the crystallization process can not be fully discharged, then stay in the weld metal to form pores.

3. Nitrogen hole

Nitrogen pore formation and hydrogen pore similar, are due to the gas in the solid metal and molten metal solubility differences. The source of nitrogen: First, the air intrusion into the welding zone; two inert gas purity is not enough protection.

Welcome you to our factory any time.
