Fluxes for electroslag strip cladding with

stainless and Ni-base alloys

Cromaflux 480 ESC

Cromaflux 480 ESC is a non-alloying agglomerated fluoride-basic flux designed for electroslag strip

cladding with stainless steel alloys at standard travel speeds (15-25cm/min.). Slag detachment is

excellent, leaving a bright deposit finish with smooth inter-bead tie-in.

Classification: EN ISO 14174 ES A FB 2B 5644 DC

Flux type: Fluoride-basic

Basicity index: 2.6

Flux density: 1.1kg/dm3

Grain size: 2-16

Welding current: DC+

Redrying temperature: 300-350° C/2h

Packaging: 25kg hermetically sealed plastic bags

Cromaflux 450 ESC

Cromaflux 450 ESC is a non-alloying agglomerated fluoride-basic flux designed for electroslag strip

cladding with stainless steel alloys at high travel speeds (25-35cm/min.). Suitable for large diameter

vessels and flat surfaces. Excellent slag detachment, leaving a bright deposit finish with smooth interbead tie-in.

Classification: EN ISO 14174 ES A FB 2B 5644 DC

Flux type: Fluoride-basic

Basicity index: 4.5

Flux density: 1.0kg/dm3

Grain size: 2-16

Welding current: DC+

Redrying temperature: 300-350° C/2h

Packaging: 25kg hermetically sealed plastic bags

Cromaflux 650 ESC

Cromaflux 650 ESC is a non-alloying agglomerated fluoride-basic flux designed for electroslag strip

cladding with Ni-base alloys, e.g NiCr3 and NiCrMo-3 types. Slag detachment is excellent, leaving a

bright deposit finish with smooth inter-bead tie-in. The flux operates over a wide range of travel speeds

and is suitable for both single layer and two layer techniques.

In combination with Cromastrip 625 a single layer deposit of type NiCrMo-3 can be achieved with

around 10%Fe. With the same combination a two layer deposit, 6.5-7.0mm total thickness, can be

achieved with 5%Fe max. at a depth of 3mm below the top surface.

Flux density: 1.1kg/dm3

Grain size: 2-14

Welding current: DC+

Redrying temperature: 300-350° C/2h
