Peculiarities of layered compositions by submerged arc surfacing with a composite strip electrode

The results of the investigation show that during the process of submerged arc surfacing with a composite strip electrode the value of bypass current is high. This process can lower the level of base metal heat input. It is shown that using a composite strip electrode, as well as a singular electrode, an increase of total current decreases the dilution ratio of base metal in the deposited metal
