Use of Refractory Nanoparticles as a Component of Welding Materials in Welding and Surfacing With Coated Electrodes and Flux Cored Wires

The authors address to the issue of mainstream directions and application fields of nanostructured coated electrodes and flux cored wires, their distinctive advantages and shortcomings. Some consideration is given to use of refractory nanoparticles and their influence on the structure and properties of metal when welding and surfacing with flux cored wires and coated electrodes. The results of research carried out in this sphere are analyzed
