Efficiency of drying and calcining of welding electrodes in furnaces using radiation from nanostructured functional ceramics (nfc)

This article presents the results of research on the influence of various methods of drying and calcining welding electrodes coated with acid-rutile type standard technology in electric furnaces and in furnaces using nanostructured functional ceramics (NFC) radiation on the welding and technological properties of welding electrodes. According to the results of research, the improvement of welding and technological properties during the drying and calcining of welding electrodes in a furnace using radiation with NFC was revealed. Calcination of welding electrodes using NFC radiation allows to obtain high-quality welding and technological properties of coatings without the use of natural drying after coating the welding wire. This makes it possible to perform heat treatment of welding electrodes with great savings in power consumption and reduced calcination time compared to standard technology.
