Description :

SF-30 is an agglomerated flux adding proper contents of alloy element to maintain the stability of the contents of ferrite in weld metal. It is designed for welding with stainless steel 316/316L to gain characteristics of great crack and corrosion resistibility and mechanic property, but also good weldability involved excellent slag, removal, stable arc, smooth bead appearance and welding efficiency.

Applications :

It is applied in submerged arc welding with stainless steel 316/316L.

Note On Usage:

1. Use of low heat input to get the corrosion resistability and mechanical properties on heat-affected zone.

2. Bake flux at 300-350C for 1hours before use.
