Welding Consumables
SAW [Flux & Wire Combination]
- S-727 × L-8
- Type : Active
- Industry :
- AWS : A5.17/ASME SFA5.17 F7A2-EL8
- JIS : Z3183 S502-H
- EN : ISO 14174 S A AB 1 / 14171 S1
Applications
Single and multi-layer welding of structural steels, H-beams, ships, agricultural implements, boilers, machinery, bridges and general fabrications.
Characteristics on Usage
Insensitive to rust, scales, primers, oil and dirts on the surface to be welded. Resistance to porosity and slag detachability are excellent. Impact value of weld metal is high.
Suitable for fillet welding of thin and medium plate with wide range of welding conditions.
As the consumption of flux is low, it is economical.
Notes on Usage
① Dry the flux at 300~350°C (572~662°F ) for 60 minutes before use.
② Pay attention to welding voltage. Excessive welding voltage causes deterioration of joint properties.
③ Add new flux periodically to prevent the weld defects and bad bead appearance which occurs when continuously reusing the flux.
