Flux for Submerged Arc welding of General Struct

AMA OP350A

Standards: EN 760: SA CS 3 97 AC
DIN 32 522 : B CS 3 97 CCrMo AC 8

Type/ Characteristics:
Agglomerated alloy-bearing type flux for hard surfacing purposes, to be used in combination with 50-11, 50-22 wire electrodes. The alloying effect of the flux depends to a large degree on the welding parameters chosen. Optimum parameters for a 4 mm dia. Wire electrode are 600A/32V/50cm/min. welding speed. AMA-OP350 A is suitable to be used on either DC or AC.
Damp flux shall be redried by baking at 300°C.
