Exaton 47S

Exaton 47S is a highly basic welding flux for electroslag strip surfacing, delivering excellent slag removal and bead appearance, especially on duplex, super‑duplex and fully austenitic stainless steel.

Key Features

• Suitable for chromium, chromium‑nickel and chromium‑nickel‑molybdenum strip electrodes, with or without niobium
• High basicity for superior performance on duplex and super‑duplex stainless steels
• Moisture‑resistant steel drum packaging (20‑25 kg drums)
• Enables higher welding speeds and fewer cladding layers, reducing overall cost
