Application/properties: Agglomerated Aluminate-rutile type flux for welding general structural steels, pressure vessel and pipe steels, as well as fine grain structural steels having yield strength of up to 355N/mm2. AMA OP 181 produces a high silicon and manganese pick up and can therefore be used with 50-11, 50-12, electrode wires.It is particularly suited for high-speed welding applying the twin-wire process as well as in tandem and multi-wire welding. Owing to its metallurgical behavior AMA OP 181 can be preferably used for welding from both sides in one pass, e.g. IN longitudinal welding of large-diameter pipes and thin-walled spiral pipes.A further field of application is the welding of tube-web-tube points or finned tubes. On account of easy slag removal, AMA OP 181 preferably used in filled welding.It can be used on either DC or AC up to 1000A.
