Welding slag is a form of slag, or vitreous material produced as a byproduct of some arc welding processes, most specifically shielded metal arc welding (also known as stick welding), submerged arc welding, and flux-cored arc welding. Slag is formed when flux, the solid shielding material used in the welding process, melts in or on top of the weld zone. Slag is the solidified remaining flux after the weld area cools.〔Modern Welding Technology (6th Edition), Howard B. Cary& Scott Helzer, 2004, ISBN 978-0131130296〕 ==Flux== Welding flux is a combination of carbonate and silicate materials used in welding processes to shield the weld from atmospheric gases. When the heat of the weld zone reaches the flux, the flux melts and outgasses. The gases produced push the atmospheric gas back, preventing oxidation (and reactions with nitrogen). The melted flux covers the molten metal in the weld zone. Flux materials are chosen so that the density of the melted flux / slag is lower than that of the metal being welded, so that the flux floats to the top of the weld puddle and leaves pure or nearly pure metal to solidify below. Flux materials may also contribute to metal behavior in the molten metal, with physical or chemical alterations to the molten metal. The flux cover also helps thermally insulate the weld and reduce the cooling rate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slag (welding)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
