EN 760: SA AB 1 67 AC H5 is an agglomerated aluminate-basic flux with high current-carrying capacity, specially designed for the welding of windmill towers using tandem – arc. It is also suitable for joint welding of unalloyed and low alloy structural steels, pipe steels, boiler steels and fine grain steels. The flux is suitable for single and multilayer welding of longitudinal, circumferential and fillet welds. It can be used for single, tandem, twin and multi wire welding systems. Excellent slag removal in narrow groove welds of thick wall sections. Typical characteristic of this flux is a medium Mn and Si pick up as well as very low diffusible hydrogen level. It is suitable for both AC and DC welding.
