OK Flux 10.88

ESAB submerged arc welding wires have a well-defined chemistry with intentionally lower tolerances vs. applicable welding standards. Expect high-quality and consistency and be assured that mechanical values, such as strength and toughness, are guaranteed in combination with the chosen flux.

Coppering and helix (axial movement of individual wire loops) are best-suited for customer usage. Coppering with a strong adherence to the wires ensure that no Cu particles separate from the wire during consumption. Thin coppering also means that a minimal amount is brought into the weld metal, but thick enough to provide good electrical conductivity so that the welding current can be transferred properly from the welding nozzle to the welding wire electrode. Helix is well-controlled and limited to eliminate decoiling issues and to ensure the wire goes into the welding equipment without any sideway twist, which could result in lack of fusion in the welding joint. All of these features are deliberately thought-out and implemented for your best welding performance.

SAW submerged arc fluxes are composed of various minerals obtained from global natural resources. All raw materials are precisely defined with attributes beyond the chemical compositions. Each lot of incoming raw material is individually checked, evaluated and controlled before used in production of our SAW fluxes. Fluxes are then manufactured according to strict formulations and manufacturing processes. As a result, we ensure the highest quality, as well as the highest consistency of our submerged arc flux products. Mechanical values of our fluxes, such as strength and toughness, are guaranteed when used in combination with the correct submerged arc wires.
