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 />
