OP 121TT Submerged Arc (SAW) Flux

OP 121TT is a fully basic agglomerated submerged-arc welding flux that is widely used for the welding of structural and fine grained low alloy steels requiring high integrity welds with low temperature impact and CTOD fracture toughness properties. OP 121TT flux, in combination with a range of Oerlikon submerged-arc wires, in particular with OE-SD3, is established for the welding of offshore structures such as oil platform jackets, piles, decks and modules giving a high level of consistency and mechanical property performance. The flux is widely used for the welding of thick section components in the offshore, nuclear and pressure vessel industries. The flux exhibits a low hydrogen content in the as manufactured condition and gives a high resistance to moisture pick-up during exposure under workshop conditions. The flux promotes a very stable arc characteristic during use with excellent slag detachability. The weld is of an uniform even profile with regular fine ripple formation and smooth toe blending. OP 121TT flux is suitable for use with DC+ or AC and is ideal for single wire, twin wire, tandem arc [DC+/AC] and other multi-arc systems using up to 1000A with single wire welding
