Abstract
The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of a special activating component, under the ZB-3 brand, on the welding and technological properties of a welding electrode when incorporated into the coating of a rutile welding electrode. Pulsed radiation activation was used to produce the nanostructured activating component ZB-3. The results showed the beneficial effect of the electrode doped with ZB-3 on the formation of welding beads. At the same time, an improvement in the quality of weld formation is observed with a ZB-3 activator content of up to 8%. The qualities of the weld formation were significantly improved. Also, an increase in the breaking length of the electrode arc by more than 10% was established with a ZB-3 activator content of up to 2%, and the depth of penetration of the welded metal increased to 40%.
