Stainless and Heat resistant steels
OP 76 is a special agglomerated, fluoride-basic type flux for welding stainless and heat-resistant steels when used in
conjunction with wires according to AWS A5.9. In terms of weld metal C content, the behaviour of OP 76 can be described
as neutral, thus if suitable wires are used, ELC quality steels may be welded.
In terms of silicon and manganese, the metallurgical behaviour is neutral, i.e. there is neither pick-up nor burn-out.
Manganese burn-out only occurs when wires with a high manganese content are used.
OP 76 is intended for joint welding large cross-sections. It is one of the range of hydrogen-controlled fluxes, which deposit a
weld metal with a low diffusible hydrogen content.
OP 76 is particularly suited to tandem and multi-wire welding. Smooth welds with a good finish are deposited.
Suitable for welding on both DC+ and AC at up to 800A.
Damp flux should be re-dried at 300-350°C. Grain size in accordance with EN 760: 2-20.
