lifetime. The force needed to pull
out the wire from ProPac is con-
siderably less than rotating a
standard spool, thus causing
less strain on the wire feed
unit and drive motor.
Significantly reduced spool

Description:
P 43 is a medium-coated rutile electrode intended for welding light to medium sections in mild steel.
The electrode operates with a very smooth arc and is suitable for all positions except vertical down. It
is easy to strike and re-strike and produces a self-detaching slag leaving a finely rippled bead
appearance. With its excellent bead surface and smooth transition with the base material P 43 is
ideal for butt and fillet welding of sheet metal work.

Description:
P 45S is a multi-purpose rutile-cellulosic coated electrode suitable for a wide application range in mild
steel. The electrode is fully positional, including vertical down and welds with a crisp, steady arc to
produce a smooth bead surface with good slag detachability. It is relatively insensitive to rust, dirt and
surface coatings. Together with its ability to bridge gaps, the general versatility of P 45S makes it
ideal for both shop and site fabrication.

Description:
Maxeta 5 is an acid-rutile iron powder electrode with 160% recovery, intended for the welding of
general construction steels in the horizontal and horizontal-vertical positions. The electrode is
designed to give a fast burn-off rate enabling the user to make extended run lengths and thereby
produce small fillet welds at high deposition rates.
It is particularly recommended for plate where the surface has been treated with primer or
contaminated by rust, mill scale, paint etc. Both the weld appearance and transition with the base
material are exceptionally smooth and consistent, making Maxeta 5 a suitable choice when demands
on fatigue resistance of the joint are high.

Description:
P 48P is a basic-coated, low hydrogen, carbon manganese electrode specially designed for
pipewelding. The all-positional AC/DC electrode is exceptionally easy to use. P 48P has an extremely
stable arc which enables it to be manipulated in the most difficult welding positions without any risk of
arc extinction due to freezing. Root beads are even and slightly convex, providing a smooth blend-in
with the base material. Operating characteristics are not sensitive to variations in the root gap or edge
misalignment. Fill and capping passes fuse flush with the joint edges, minimising the risk of edge
defects when using either the stringer bead or weaving technique. The flat-to slightly convex bead
profile results in the need for only a bare minimum of grinding and therefore considerable reduction in
the associated problems of dust and noise pollution. P 48P combines the special operability needs of
the pipe welder with the general requirement for improved productivity.

weld metal with higher touhgness at lower temperatures compared to rutile coated electrodes due to
less weld metal oxygen. The basic coating results in a lower weld metal Si content making B347 less
sensitive to hot cracking caused by Nb additions, compared to rutile types. Furthermore this permits a
lower weld metal ferrite content compared to rutile types.

Cromarod 316LV is a rutile flux coated electrode designed specially for welding thin section acid
resisting 316L austenitic stainless steels in the vertical down position. The special composition and
very thin coating gives the electrode exceptionally good operating characteristics when vertical down
welding of single pass butt, fillet and lap joints. Weld beads are neat and smooth with a slightly
concave profile to fillets. The vertical down technique is characterised by high welding speeds and
low heat input, giving enhanced productivity combined with minimum distortion. Cromarod 316LV is
ideal for joining stainless steel cladding and linings.

Description:
Cromarod Duplex-140 is a rutile flux coated high deposition electrode with 140% recovery. It
complements the normal recovery electrode Cromarod Duplex and is primarily intended for welding
medium to heavy sections of duplex type stainless steels, e.g. W. 1.4462, SAF 2205, Uranus 45N. It
can also be used for the lower alloyed duplex types W. 1.4362, SAF 2304 and Uranus 35N. The
electrode is easy to use and produces smooth weld beads, slightly concave profile fillets and
easy-releasing slag. A heat input range or 0.5-2.5 KJ/mm is recommended to maintain a favourable
austenite-ferrite phase balance.

stainless steels e.g. 1.4462, UNS 31803. The basic coating design produces a very low micro-oxide
level in the deposit, giving excellent fracture toughness at temperatures down to -46 °C.
Duplex stainless steels offer an excellent combination of high strength and very good resistance to
chloride induced pitting and stress corrosion cracking.
A heat input range of 0,5-2,5 kJ/mm is recommended to maintain a favourable ferrite/austenite phase
balance in the weld metal.
Applications:
Offshore, platform, pipework, pipelines transporting chloride bearing products, or sour gas and
process vessels for chloride environments. '

Description:
Elgaloy Cast-NiFe is designed to produce a higher, matching strength weld metal for joining malleable,
nodular and S.G. irons. It is also suitable for joining these to mild, low alloy and stainless steels.
Elgaloy Cast-NiFe is less sensitive to hot cracking sometimes caused by impurities in castings,
compared to pure nickel type electrodes. Thin sections can be welded cold, but thicker sections may
require preheat of approx. 150-300°C. When welding without preheat, use low heat input method.
Lightly peen weld beads during welding of thicker sections. On completion allow the workpiece to cool
slowly. The deposit is fully machinable.
Applications:
Spheroidal graphite, nodular and ductile cast irons e.g, machine bases, transmission housings, gear
boxes, engine blocks and pump bodies.

Description:
Elgacore MXA 55T is an all-positional metal cored wire producing a 1.7% Ni alloyed weld metal with
very good fracture toughness down to –60°C. It is specially designed for single-sided welding, but is
equally suitable for multi-pass applications in thick plate, utilising its excellent deep penetration
characteristics in the spray transfer current range. Fillet welds have a mitre profile and root runs
against ceramic backing leave a smooth bead without risk of slag entrapment. The wire runs with a
very stable, spatter-free arc, even under dip transfer conditions at welding currents as low as 50 A.
Elgacore MXA 55T is highly suitable for offshore construction. Elgacore MXA 55T is CTOD tested

intended for welding similar duplex stainless steels which offer an excellent combination of high
strength and very good resistance to chloride induced pitting and stress corrosion cracking. The wire
operates with a very stable, spatter-free arc and produces a bright, smooth weld bead surface and
self-releasing slag. Cromacore DW 329AP Duplex is ideal for high productivity welding in the vertical
position.

Description:
Cromacore 2507 is a rutile flux cored wire which deposits a 25%Cr/10%Ni/4%Mo/0.25%N super
duplex type weld metal with a ferrite level of approximately FN 50. It is designed for welding similar
composition steels e.g. SAF 2507, Uranus 52N, Zeron 100, which offer even higher strength and
corrosion resistance levels than the ordinary duplex grades. Cromacore 2507 may also be used for
welding standard duplex steels when higher corrosion resistance in the weld metal is required. A heat
input range of 0.5-2.5 KJ/mm is recommended to maintain a favourable phase balance in the weld
metal and avoid deleterious precipitation effects in the plate. The weld metal has excellent fracture
toughness at temperatures down to –40°C.
Applications:
Applications include offshore platform pipework for seawater cooling systems and firefighting water,
as well as pumps, valves and risers.

Pitting corrosion
For the 6%FeCl3 medium (ASTM G48A
standardised test), the critical pitting temperature
of the above-described welded joint is determined,
by calculation, to 16°C, i.e. 10°C above the level
measured for a base metal of the 304L/1.4307
type and at the same level as that of a base metal
of the 1.4362 type.

condition, the
Cromamig LDX does not exhibit, on duplex welded
joint, any intergranular precipitation likely to cause

Description:
Cromatig 2507 deposits a 25%Cr/10%Ni/4%Mo/0.25% N super duplex type weld metal with a ferrite
level of approximately FN 55. It is designed for welding similar composition steels e.g. SAF 2507,
ordinary duplex grades. Cromatig 2507 may also be used for welding standard duplex steels when
higher corrosion resistance in the weld metal is required. A heat input range of 0.4-1.5 KJ/mm is
recommended to maintain a favourable phase balance in the weld metal and avoid deleterious
precipitation effects in the plate. Applications include offshore platform pipework for seawater cooling
systems and firefighting water, as well as pumps, valves and risers. The weld metal has excellent
fracture toughness at temperatures down to –40°C.

Description:
Elgaflux 285B is an agglomerated, slightly Si and Mn alloying, aluminate-basic flux. It combines very
good operability (slag removal, bead shape, bead finish) with low micro-oxide levels, enabling it to
produce good impact toughness down to -40°C / -60°C. It is suitable for butt and fillet welding using
single, twin-arc and multi-wire processes. Together with the appropriate Elgasaw wires, Elgaflux 285B
is designed for C-Mn and low alloy steels for low temperature and high strength applications. Elgaflux
285B can be used on AC and DC, with up to 1000A on a single wire and is especially suitable for line
pipe fabrication, pipeline production, pressure vessels, offshore structures and wind turbine tower
manufacture.

Flux for submerged arc welding EN ISO 14174-A S A FB 1 55 AC H5
Description:
Elgaflux 500B is a high basicity agglomerated, fluoride-basic flux designed for use where optimal low
temperature impact energy and CTOD fracture toughness properties are required. It produces low
oxygen (O) weld metal , approximately 300ppm, resulting in excellent impact toughness down to -60°C
and below, together with very low hydrogen levels. Elgaflux 500B exhibits very good slag detachability,
even in narrow gaps, along with smooth bead finish and tie-in. The flux is non-alloying with respect to
Si and Mn and mechanical properties can be controlled by choice of suitably alloyed Elgasaw wires.
It is suitable for multi-pass butt welding of medium and high tensile steels and also low alloyed steels
using single and multiple wire systems. Elgaflux 500B can be used on AC and DC, with up to 1000A
on a single wire and is highly suitable for stringent fabrication sectors such as offshore, pressure ves-
sels, high strength line pipe, petrochemical, cryogenic and nuclear components.

Description:
Elgaflux 400B is a high basicity agglomerated, fluoride-basic flux designed for welding Cr-Mo creep
resistant steels. The very low impurity levels in the flux produce an extremely clean weld metal,
particularly with respect to P pick-up, and enable high impact strength properties to be achieved, even
after step cooling heat treatment.
Elgaflux 400B can be used on both AC and DC, but AC is recommended for optimum impact proper-
ties. Elgaflux 400B exhibits very good operability characteristics, including good slag detachability in
narrow gap joints. Typical fabrication sectors are pressure vessels, power generation and petrochemi-
cal industries.

Description:
Cromaflux 300B is a high basicity, non-alloying agglomerated flux for submerged arc welding of aus-
tenitic, duplex and super-duplex stainless steels. Slag detachability is excellent, even in narrow joints
and with stabilised deposits, leaving a smooth, bright bead surface finish. Cromaflux 300B is desig-
ned for both butt and fillet welding and can be used on DC with up to 900A on a single wire. The high
basicity level of Cromaflux 300B gives minimal Cr burn-out losses and also produces a low content of
microslag inclusions, ensuring very good low temperature fracture toughness properties.

Cromaflux 380 Classification
Flux for submerged arc welding EN ISO 14174-A S F CS 2 DC H5
Description
Cromaflux 380 is a fused, calcium-silicate flux intended for use with Ni-base wires where it provides
excellent slag detachability, even in restricted joints, and clean, bright deposit finish with low bead
profile and smooth tie-in. Cromaflux 380 is also suitable for use in combination with austenitic and
duplex stainless steel wires for high speed fillet welding, using the single or twin-arc process, or where
welding at the lower current range is required, e.g. thinner material. Being non-hygroscopic (fused), it
can further be used to weld low alloy-high strength steels where very low hydrogen levels are critical.
Cromaflux 380 is for use on DC only and is suitable for butt welding 9% Ni steels in combination with
Cromasaw 625, butt welding with alloy 59 and alloy C276 wires, cladding with Ni-base wires, high
productivity fillet welding with austenitic and duplex stainless steel wires and power generation fin-tube
walls in P91 steel.

Description:
Elga Gouging Electrode is a copper coated carbon-graphite electrode used for air carbon-arc cutting
and gouging. The arc is used to progressively melt the base material which is subsequently blown
away by high velocity jets of compressed air. Because the process is physical rather than dependent
on oxidation it can be used on most metals. The process leaves a clean surface free from slag and
further surface preparation is not usually necessary. Applications include weld joint preparation,
cutting and perforating and removal of weld and material defects.

Ceramic backing
Elga Ceramic Backing is used to provide root pass

support when welding from one side only and is
an extremely effective way to rationalise welding
procedures and reduce production costs. Welding
of root passes is normally the most critical part of
the weld and hence the most costly. By using Elga
ceramic backing, you can reduce production costs
substantially.
Benefits with Elga Ceramic Backing

Reduced production costs:
• Eliminates the need for back-gouging, grinding
and rewelding operations on the reverse side.
• Significant savings in costs associated with
turning large and heavy plates or structures
in order to weld the second side in the flat
position.
• Increased productivity when welding root runs
in position 1G/PA, 2G/PC and 3G/PF.
Typical examples of ceramic backing applications.
• Simpler joint preparation and reduced set-up
time because tolerances for the root gap are
greater.
• Use of higher welding currents, which means Useful tips when using Elga Ceramic Backing
higher deposition rates and increased pro-
ductivity. • Use relatively low current/welding speed.
