In structural steel fabrication, submerged arc welding utilizes a granular mineral flux blanket to shield the molten weld pool from atmospheric gases. Because unfused flux granules remain chemically unaltered during the welding cycle, vacuum recovery systems collect the surplus material for reuse. However, reclaimed flux must be stored in heated hoppers before being reintroduced to the weld zone, as exposure to atmospheric humidity leads to moisture absorption that causes hydrogen-induced cracking in high-strength steel welds.
Statement: Based on the passage, reclaimed granular flux must be kept warm prior to reapplication in order to avoid moisture absorption that compromises the integrity of the weld joint.
Cevap: Cevap
Cevap
True
The statement is correct because it faithfully restates the passage's explanation that recovered flux must be heated prior to reuse to avoid moisture-related weld defects, using appropriate synonyms without altering the factual meaning.
