With the ES process, the mechanical values of the weld metal are highly dependent on procedure and base material.<br />
OK Flux 10.50 is a fused, highbasic<br />
flux for electro slag<br />
welding (vertically up). In this<br />
process, resistive heating of the<br />
liquid slag melts the wire.<br />
Depositions rates of 40 kg/h<br />
are easily achievable with<br />
multi-wire systems.<br />
The flux is suitable for single<br />
and multi-wire procedures, for<br />
DC and AC welding and is<br />
used for unlimited plate<br />
thicknesses.<br />
Once the welding process<br />
begins, the OK Flux 10.50<br />
suppresses the welding arc.<br />
Water-cooled copper bars that<br />
slide vertically-up parallel to the<br />
proceeding welding process<br />
support the molten weld pool.<br />
The mechanical values of the<br />
weld metal can be influenced<br />
by the choice of the wire<br />
electrode or welding procedure.<br />
Due to the high dilution the<br />
base material also has a major<br />
influence. Electro slag welding<br />
vertically-up can be applied to<br />
a wide range of steels such as<br />
structural steels, fine-grained<br />
steels and pressure vessel<br />
steels.<br />
