RUTILE - LIME - LOW SILICIOUS FLUX COATED MILD STEEL ELECTRODE WITH EXCELLENT VERTICAL UP AND OVERHEAD WELDING CHARACTERISTICS
D-03
CLASSIFICATION
EN ISO 2560-A E 35 0 R | JIS Z 3211 D4303
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The flux is designed to produce a viscous slag with a wide solidification range which contains and refines the molten weld metal during positional welding. The flux is extruded onto a mild steel core wire with a blend of silicates that assures both strength of the coating while limiting moisture re-absorption
WELDING FEATURES OF THE ELECTRODE
The electrode welds with a soft stable arc and produces bright evenly rippled weld seams. Slag detachability is excellent. In addition for the slag to control large vertical up and overhead weld beads, it also assists in the achievement of full penetration root runs. Again vertical up when joint access is only available from one side
APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS TO BE WELDED
All positional welding of structural steels of the following and related steel specifications : Mild and medium carbon-manganese steels up to 15mm thick (for several circumstances can be used up to 25mm thickness) with a UTS of 500N/mm2 max. Typical grades : BS 1449 plate and sheet, BS 4360 grades 43A and 43C, Lloyds A&D ship steel BS 4360 grade 50B Lloyds grades AH and DH, BS 3059 and BS 3601 grade 320-410 API 5L A-B and X42.
WELDING AMPERAGE AC and DC
OTHER DATA
