A series of fused CaF 2 -SiO 2 binary fluxes have been developed to investigate element transfer behaviors under high heat input submerged arc welding. Transfer of elements is quantified by Δ quantities, which demonstrate respective contributions from the flux to the weld metal. Effects of SiO 2 con...
