Exaton 50SW

Exaton 50SW is a basic agglomerated flux with low silicon pickup, offering good slag removal, reliable tie‑ins and a finely rippled weld surface. It is designed for SAW welding of nickel and stainless steel alloys, especially suited for surfacing with Exaton Ni72HP strip electrodes.

Key Features

• Low silicon pickup for clean welds
• Excellent slag removal and tie‑in capability
• Compatible with wire or strip electrodes of nickel alloys
• Ideal for nuclear, chemical equipment and dissimilar material welding
• Packs in moisture‑resistant 20‑25 kg steel drums

Specifications

• Classifications: EN ISO 14174 : S A AF 2
• Welding Current: 900 A (using 60 × 0.5 mm strip)
• Slag Type: Fluoride basic CaF₂‑Al₂O₃‑(TiO₂)‑(MnO)
