ESAB offers flux-cored wires

ESAB product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Nov 21, 2008
OK Tubrod 15.14 is the latest generation of all position rutile, low-hydrogen flux-cored wires from ESAB.
This multi-purpose wire is a highly productive consumable available for manual and mechanised positional welding, providing an excellent bead appearance.
It is designed for use in pure CO2 as well as Ar/CO2 shielding gas.
The wire is suitable for all areas that involve positional welding of structural steel including shipbuilding, offshore, civil construction and mobile machinery.
OK Tubrod 15.14 is an extremely 'welder-friendly' wire with a soft, spatter-free arc that always operates in the spray arc mode.
It is easy to obtain flat welds with a good penetration and smooth wetting onto the plate edges.
The brittle slag is easily removed leaving behind a smooth rutile weld appearance.
Typical positional weld defects such as lack of fusion and slag inclusions are avoided, due to the spray arc operation.
The wire has a high tolerance for poor joint preparation.
High quality one-sided root runs are made economically on ceramic backing.
It has an excellent performance on zinc-silicate primed plate.
The wire formulation provides a fast freezing slag that supports the weld pool well in positional welding, enabling deposition rates which cannot be equalled by stick electrodes or solid wires.
Deposition rates in vertical up welding can reach up to 4kg/h (100 per cent duty cycle), making it the most productive consumable available for manual welding in this position.
Welding parameters are optimised per welding position for maximum productivity, but one single setting can be selected welding in this position (230A), making it ideal for fit-up work.
Diffusible hydrogen satisfies the EN H5 classes for CO2 and Ar/CO2 mixed gases respectively tested under the conditions prescribed in the classification standard.
Weld metal remains low-hydrogen over a wide envelope of welding parameters.
