Overlap welds on thin material;<br />

also butt and fillet welds<br />

The typical plate thickness for air compression tanks and gas<br />

bottles is 2.5mm The overlap joints are SA welded with 1.2<br />

to 2.5mm diameter wires.<br />

Wires of diameter 2.0mm or less are avalable in 450 kg<br />

Marathon Pacs which raises productivity drastically by<br />

reducing the downtime for spool changes. A good weld<br />

bead appearance is just as important as the excellent slag<br />

removal which is evident even on a second pass welded<br />

over a hot first pass. With OK Flux 10.87 these requirements<br />

are fulfilled even at high welding speeds up to 2m/min. Wide<br />

weld beads are produced with low transition angles to the<br />

base material. There are no requirements on toughness for<br />

weld metals produced with OK Flux 10.87.<br />
