    Agglomerated Welding Flux BF 5.1 BF 5.

    1
    Flux type: Aluminate-Basic

    Classification: ISO 14174 – S A AB 1 67 AC H5 *)


    (EN 760 – SA AB 1 67 AC H5)

    Characteristics:
    A neutral, semi-basic agglomerated flux of the aluminate basic type suitable for joint welding of low-alloy
    structural steels, fine-grained steels and pipe steel qualities. Designed for DC and AC welding.
    BF 5.1 is suitable for the two-run or multi-layer technique using single or multi-wire processes. The flux shows
    constant metallurgical characteristics (low Silicon and Manganese pick-up). In combination with appropriate
    wires, such as Mo-, Ni- or NiMo-alloyed types, uniform mechanical properties with low temperature
    toughness are achieved. Slag–detachability, even in narrow-groove welds of thick-walled sections, or at high
    preheating temperature (> 250 °C), together with finely rippled weld bead performance and smooth tie-ins, even
    when fillet welding using high currents, are additional features of the flux.
    BF 5.1 is formulated to achieve very low diffusible hydrogen levels (< 4 ml/100 g weld deposit). The chemical
    composition of the flux and its alloy vector have been designed for achieving large amount of acicular ferrite
    with typical standard wires.

    Application:
    SA-welding of low-alloy structural steels (Y.S. up to 420 MPa), boiler and vessel materials, high-strength ship steels
    such as EH36; fine-grain structural steels up to Y.S. 460 MPa and pipe steel qualities up to X70 grade (ISO 3183/
    API-5L).
