Exaton 15W

Exaton 15W is a basic welding flux for submerged arc welding giving good slag removal and a fine bead appearance. Its relatively high basicity makes it suitable for joining of austenitic and duplex stainless steel when high impact strength is desired. Due to its low niobium content burn-off it can be used advantageously with stabilized wire electrodes. Exaton 15W is a high performance welding flux in many joining applications in the chemical, petrochemical and oil&gas industry. It is particularly suited for Exaton range of duplex wire electrodes (e.g. 22.8.3.L/25.10.4.L) due to the highly neutral behavior, which ensures an optimal balanced microstructure. Taking the benefit of its features (not limited to nice bead appearance and self slag release only), it can also be used in combination with NiCrMo-3 and NiCrMo-4 wires for several other applications (i.e. both joining and weld overlay).
