  • S-707 × L-8
  • Type : Active
  • Industry :
  • AWS : A5.17/ASME SFA5.17 F7A4-EL8
  • JIS : Z3183 S502-H
  • EN : ISO 14174 S A AB 1 / 14171 S1

Applications

Single-layer and multi-layer welding of shipbuildings


Characteristics on Usage

As the penetration is deep, it is suitable for welding of thick plate in both side single-layer welding.
Impact value (or mechanical properties) of weld metal and crack resistibility are excellent.
Also applicable to one-side welding. 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.
    ④ Weld pass should be limited to 3 or 4 passes. (please inquire of the manufactures when welding more than 5 passes)
