Agglomerated Welding Flux BF 47NiMo

Flux type: Calcium-Silicate

Classification:
ISO 14174: S A CS 3 5654 DC
(EN 760: SA CS 3 NiMo DC)

Characteristics

Agglomerated and active flux (with Cr-compensating & Ni / Mo alloying characteristic) designed for hardfacing, overlay stripwelding and joint cladding together with stainless strip electrodes of the Cr–, CrNi(Mo)–steel types. Applicable for SAW–process as well as for use with the ESO^® (Extended Stick Out)–cladding system which enables highest possible deposit rates as a result of the Joule heat (I²R)–effect.
BF 47NiMo gives excellent slag removal without slag residuals, in the 1st layer on preheated substrates as well as in subsequent layers. The flux has low hydrogen potential, which makes it most suitable for overlay welding of heat resistant steels such as A387–types. Smooth weld bead appearance and notch–free transitions are features achievable with all cladding processes. Constant dilution rates can be gained when using process–characteristic welding parameters.
BF 47NiMo shows constant chemical reactions as typical for a BAVARIA – alloyed flux.

Application

BF 47NiMo can be used for hardfacing, joint cladding and surfacing. In combination with appropriate strip electrodes of the EQ300/EQ400 (without Nb) series according to A5.9 or according to EN ISO 14343 (EN 12072) constant weld overlays are achievable. The flux is highly viscouse and creates a reinforce-effect for the weld pool. This characteristic brings exceptional advantages by cladding low diameter-rolls.
