Five experimental self-shielded flux cored wires are fabricated with different amount of Fe2O3 in the flux. The effect of Fe2O3 on welding technology and mechanical properties of weld metals deposited by these wires are studied. The results show that with the increase of Fe2O3 in the mix, the melting point of the pretreated mix is increased. LiBaF3 and BaFe12O19, which are very low in inherent moisture, are formed after the pretreatment. The mechanical properties are evaluated to the weld metals. The low temperature notch toughness of the weld metals is increased linearly with the Fe2O3 content in the flux due to the balance between Fe2O3 and residual Al in the weld metal. The optimum Fe2O3 content in flux is 2.5%～3.5 %.
