CLASSIFICATION
ISO 14174 -SA AF 2 5644 DC H5 * (EN760- SA AF 2 DC)
DESCRIPTION
Specially designed for welding Austenitic and Austenitic-Ferritic stainless steels. This basic-neutral flux will produce outstanding results in the welding of the standard Austenitic and heat-resisting stainless steels, when using the corresponding wire electrodes according to EN ISO 14343 or ASME II C: SFA-5.9. Due to the basic flux characteristics of Geeflux 304, most grades of the 300 and 400 stainless steels can be welded using single wire submerged-arc processes. It is also suited for joint-and overlay welding.Geeflux 304 produces smooth flat weld beads when fillet welding. If appropriate welding parameters are applied a finely ribbed surface along with self-releasing slag is yielded as well as weld beads that are free of slag inclusions. The metallurgical behavior of the flux is neutral (C-neutral, low Si pick-up and low Mn burn-out) without Cr- or other alloy compensation.
APPLICATION
For surfacing valve with ER 410 and ER 430 grade of stainless steel wires.
