Spatter lose rate test research of ER70S-6 gas shielded welding wire

Aiming at the problem of higher spatter lose rate of diameter 1.2 mm or diameter 0.8 mm welding wire made from Xiangtan Iron and Steel Co.diameter 5.5 mm wire rod,the chemical composition of wire rod was tested and was optimized,and compared with the quality of wire rod made by Qingsteel,the results show that the chemical composition of welding wire should be controlled strictly,carbon mass fraction is lower than 0.1%,welding wire with lower carbon content is better than that with higher one;selecting suitable welding process can decrease metal spatter efficiently,the spatter lose rate are all smaller as welding current is less than 200 A or more than 300 A,and between both the spatter lose rate is larger,at the same time the spatter lose rate is less with Ar rich gas shielding than with CO2 gas shielding,along with Ar gas proportion increasing,molten drop thinning,promote arc extension,make spatter decrease gradually,moreover adding Ar gas improved the properties of welding line.
