Elgaflux 285B
Classification
EN ISO 14174-A S A AB 1 67 AC H5
Flux for submerged arc welding
Description:
Elgaflux 285B is an agglomerated, slightly Si and Mn alloying, aluminate-basic flux. It combines very
good operability (slag removal, bead shape, bead finish) with low micro-oxide levels, enabling it to
produce good impact toughness down to -40°C / -60°C. It is suitable for butt and fillet welding using
single, twin-arc and multi-wire processes. Together with the appropriate Elgasaw wires, Elgaflux 285B
is designed for C-Mn and low alloy steels for low temperature and high strength applications. Elgaflux
285B can be used on AC and DC, with up to 1000A on a single wire and is especially suitable for line
pipe fabrication, pipeline production, pressure vessels, offshore structures and wind turbine tower
manufacture.
