  4. Abstract:
  5. Bead-on-plate submerged arc welding was performed on the AISI 4135 heat-treatable low-alloy (HTLA) steel using S2 welding wire and granular Cr-Mo basic flux. The Cr-Mo active flux was produced by the bonded -unfused method. The alloying elements were introduced into the weld metal by active flux. Two methods were introduced for calculating the recovery rate (η) of the alloying elements. Moreover, by defining the slag factor (α) of the process and η of the alloying elements, the amount of a specific element transferred from flux into WM was calculated by the proposed equation. Likewise, microstructure evolutions, inclusions characteristics, longitudinal tensile, indentation, and CVN impact tests were performed and thoroughly investigated; fracture mechanisms of all WMs were also identified. © 2020
