The invention provides a micron-sized
rare earth cerium additive modified 1000MPa-grade high-strength steel submerged-
arc welding flux as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of flux preparation. The invention solves the problems of low low-temperature
toughness, high crack generation tendency, burning loss of
alloy elements and the like of the existing 1000MPa-grade high-strength steel submerged-
arc welding deposited
metal. The
rare earth cerium additive is introduced into the
welding flux, the additive can improve the fluidity of the
welding flux so as to improve the
welding quality, meanwhile, micron-sized
rare earth cerium has the effects of refining grains and modifying inclusions, and the micron-sized rare earth cerium is matched with other components in the welding flux so that the strength of deposited
metal can be enhanced, and the low-temperature
impact toughness of the deposited
metal can be improved. The flux can be used for welding 1000MPa-grade high-strength steel under the working conditions that the online energy is greater than 30kJ / cm and the thickness of a
base metal plate is greater than 80mm, the
mechanical property of deposited metal after welding is excellent, the construction cost of the high-strength steel for water-
power engineering can be reduced, and the flux has remarkable
economic benefits and
social benefits.
