Abstract:

About 10000 tonnes of flux is being generated in India . Such a large quantity of flux that becomes slag after welding & it has to be disposed-off. Land-fill space is required to dump the slag waste. It is non bio-degradable and will not decay with time. Disposal cost will increase apart from environment pollution. This work deals with the recycling of fused submerged-arc welding (SAW) Flux Waste in the civil construction. It is used as a replacement of Coarse Aggregate in the production of Concrete. Fused SAW Flux Waste was mixed with Concrete by replacing coarse aggregate in 10%, 20%, 30% & 40%. The experimental study has been analysed and presented.

Keywords:

Fused submerged-arc welding (SAW) Flux Waste, Compressive strength, Split Tensile strength, Flexural strength.
