Best Answer

1.The impurities during the extraction of a metal above the molten metal in a furnace containing mostly silicates are slag.

2.The impurities that form as a protective layer in welding that help control the cooling process, help suck some impurities from the weld, and prevent outside contaminents from entering the weld as it cool's, like oxygen that causes rapid rust while the metal is near multen hot, to multen.

Volcanic slags are lightweight blocks. These are used as aggregates in lightweight concrete for construction of non-load bearing infill walls and slabs.

What is slag from welding?

Slag is the residue left on a weld bead from the flux. It shields the hot metal from atmospheric contaminants that may weaken the weld joint. Slag can also be globules of molten metal that are expelled from the joint and then re solidify on the metal surface. in either case, they are usually chipped away with a slag hammer.


What do mean by flux and slag?

In (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding 'stick welding': Flux is the substance added to to molten metals to bond with impurities that can be readily removed. Slag is the waste material which is removed.

What are the causes of slag inclusion?

Slag inclusions are nonmetallic solid material entrapped in weld metal or between weld metal and base metal. Slag inclusions are regions within the weld cross section or at the weld surface where the once-molten flux used to protect the molten metal is mechanically trapped within the solidified metal. This solidified slag represents a portion of the weld's cross-section where the metal is not fused to itself. This can result in a weakened condition which could impair the serviceability of the component. Inclusions may also appear at the weld surface. Like incomplete fusion, slag inclusions can occur between the weld and base metal or between individual weld passes. In fact, slag inclusions are often associated with incomplete fusion. Daniel
