AS 231

AS 231 is an agglomerated rutile type flux for welding general structural steels. It is also used for welding fine-grain steels with a yield strength of up to 355 MPa. Relatively high silicon pick-up is achieved with this flux and when used in conjunction with AS26, AS35. AS 231 is particularly well-suited to twin-wire, tandem and multi-wire welding at high speeds. It can also be used with the two-run technique especially when weld thin-walled spiral tubes. The good slag detachability makes AS 231 a standard for fillet welding. AS 231 can be welded on DC+ or AC at up to 1500 A.

Features

• Active flux for single or limited amount of passes
• Excellent operability in high speed fillet weld and lap joint configuration
• Excellent slag removal
