ESAB� OK� Flux 10.72 Submerged Arc Flux 50 lb Bag

Item Details

ESAB� OK� Flux 10.72 is an agglomerated, basic flux, designed for the production of wind towers. It combines the high demands for multi-layer thick section welding, using high deposition rates with respectable toughness values down to -50°C when combined with a standard non-alloyed SAW wire. It is used for single and multi-wire procedures such as tandem, twin arc, tandem-twin welding and many more, for butt and fillet welds. It works equally well on DC and AC current. The excellent slag removal in narrow V-joints allows the included angle of the joint to be reduced. OK� Flux 10.72 can be applied for unlimited plate thicknesses. In wind tower production, plate thicknesses of 50 mm and above are common, generally welded with Y-joints. It is essential that the slag is easily removable on the first run. For the remaining filling passes the flux needs to offer a high current carrying capacity, to allow for high deposition rates, for example, 38 kg/h with the tandem twin process. Often toughness values down to -500°C are required throughout the thickness. This excellent flux can also be utilized in other market segments with similar welding requirements e.g. pressure vessels and general construction welding.
