Abstrakt: Analysis of the existing trends in development of technologies for production of welding and surfacing fluxes showed that one of the actively developing areas is the production of fluxes using man-made waste (including metallurgical one) as components of the initial charge. This is due to the fact that the slag waste of metallurgical production contains a large amount of manganese and silicon, which in turn are the basis in welding fluxes. Within the framework of this direction development, the article describes principal possibility and efficiency of using materials based on ladle electric steelmaking slag from JSC "EVRAZ United West Siberian Metallurgical Combine" and slag produced by silicomanganese from LLC "West Siberian Electrometallurgical Plant" in the charge for production of fluxes used in the surfacing of rolling rolls. All the laboratory tests were made using the equipment of the scientific and production center "Welding Processes and Technologies". For surfacing steel samples, the authors used a flux additive obtained by mixing ladle electric steelmaking slag of a fraction less than 0.2 mm with liquid sodium glass in a ratio of 62 and 38%. The resulting flux additive was mixed with slag from the production of silicomanganese of a fraction of 0.45–2.50 mm in various ratios. Chemical composition studies (by the spectral method) and metallographic studies of the deposited layer revealed a tendency to an increase in sulfur content and in contamination with non-metallic inclusions in it with an increase in content of the flux additive in the charge of more than 20%. According to the results of visual quality control of the deposited layer macrostructure, the absence of defects was established with a flux additive content of up to 30%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
