ABSTRACT:
An easy to apply flux for increasing the penetration of gas tungsten arc welding of stainless steel substantially independent of flux thickness and variations in composition from heat to heat of stainless steel includes a flux consisting of reagent or laboratory grade TiO or TiO.sub.2 (about 50%), Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 (about 40%), and SiO.sub.2 (about 10%) in a liquid carrier, preferably of methyl ethyl ketone. The flux is easy to apply, increases penetration of the weld, decreases bead width, and increases weld cross sectional area.
