The influence of the welding current and method of gas shielding in MAG welding on the content of silicon and manganese is considered. Results of study of the welded specimens of steels 45 and 30HGSA when applying welding wire of different formulas and different types of gas shielding (traditional shielding and two-jet shielding) are given. It is established that in MAG welding the value of the welding current and the speed of the gas flow from the welding nozzle have a considerable impact on the chemical composition of the weld metal. The consumable electrode welding under double-jet gas shielding provides the directed gas-dynamics in the welding area and enables controlling the electrode metal transfer and the chemical composition of a weld.
