Abstract

The effects of fluxes with single component on weld penetration depth in TIG welding of magnesium alloy were investigated. Seven kinds of halides were selected as the activating flux in the experiments. The effects of coating quantity of these fluxes on weld depth-to-width ratio were also studied. The results show that all of the selected halides can increase the weld depth under the same welding conditions compared with conventional TIG welding. The increase of penetration is different for the fluxes with different component. Among them, the flux of CdCl2 is the best, which can increase up to 334% of weld depth compared with the conventional TIG welding.
