OK Flux 10.16

OK Flux 10.16 is a high‑basic, all‑mineral agglomerated flux designed for welding nickel and nickel‑based alloys, especially suitable for strip cladding.

Key Features

• Low silicon transfer to minimise hot cracking in Ni‑based alloys
• High basicity (index 2.4) for improved weld pool fluidity
• Available in standard and bulk sizes for high‑volume production

Specifications

• Classifications: EN ISO 14174 : S A FB 2 55 43 DC
• Welding Current: 900 A (60 × 0.5 mm strip)
• Slag Type: Fluoride basic CaF₂‑Al₂O₃‑(TiO₂)‑(MnO)
• Alloy Transfer: Moderately manganese and silicon alloying
• Density: 1.2 kg/dm³ (nominal)
• Basicity Index: 2.4 (nominal)

Applications

• Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) of nickel and nickel‑based alloys
• Strip cladding with Ni‑based strip
• High‑volume production environments
