Note: Other shielding Gases may be used for Mig welding. Shielding gases are chosen taking Quality, cost, and Operability into consideration.
Note: Both agglomerated and fused fluxes can be used for submerged arc welding.
Note: The chemical composition of the flux mainly affects the chemistry of the weld metal and consequently its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
