In the present work, the submerged arc welding (SAW) of DSS was achieved by using an electrode wire (ER-308L). The resulting physiochemical compositions, C, Mn, Ni, Cr, Mo and W of the WM, have been examined by utilizing 21 designed fluxes. The SAW fluxes in the current study are formulated using the limited mixture design approach. Using the extreme vertices design method, 21 compositions of flux are designed and the effect of flux mixtures has been studied.
