A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11883906B2) discloses a metal cored wire designed for submerged arc welding. The wire consists of a steel sheath and a core containing specific percentages of carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, copper, niobium, vanadium, titanium, nitrogen, boron, sulfur, and phosphorous, with the remaining balance being iron. The patent also details the use of this wire in welding high manganese steel, involving submerging the steel in a slag and arc stabilizer and applying a current to create a liquid alloy steel composition on the steel surface.

Furthermore, the patent outlines specific methods for welding high manganese steel using the metal cored wire, including the composition of the slag, the application of current to join pieces of high manganese steel, and the cooling process to form an alloy steel composition. The patent also specifies the components of the slag and arc stabilizer, such as TiO2, SiO2, ZrO2, Al2O3, Na2O, K2O, and various metal fluorides. Additionally, the patent provides guidelines for the current range and welding speed required for optimal results, along with the precise composition of the slag for effective welding.
