TA Flux Root Protection

The flux is applied to root side before welding and protects against oxidation, which occurs during welding. TA Flux is specially developed for use in connection with GTAW-welding of low-alloy and stainless steel with a maximum 25% nickel content but can also be used with other methods. TA Flux should not be seen as a substitute for protective gas but rather is used where protective gas cannot be used. TA Flux gives a much better weld than without root-protector, but doesn’t quite achieve the qualities of an argon-protected weld. Testing (ASTM G48) revealed the following technical data: Loss of weight with argon-protection = 100% (100%=the loss of weight which occurs with argon-protection) Loss of weight with TA Flux = 180% (much better than without root-protection but not as good as argon-protection) Loss of weight without weld-protection = 318% Sold in cans of 500 grams Packaging 4 pcs
