Type of Flux: Agglomerated (sintered)

Type of Current: DCEP

Features & Applications

CHF101 is a fluoride-basic type sintered flux and its basicity is about 1.8. This combination
is used for welding power plants, petrochemical industrial equipments, pressure vessels,
boilers, hoisting & conveying machineries, engineering & construction machineries, heavy
machineries, bridges, heavy H-beam structures and so on that fabricated by equivalent
tensile strength low alloy steels. The welding performance of it has good arc stability and
good slag detachability and the weld metal has good low temperature impact toughness.

Notice: 1) To avoid rust the wire must be kept in dry condition and keep the package in
good condition also before welding.
2) The flux should be re-baked at 300℃-350℃ for 1-2 hours before use.
3) The surfaces to be welded must be cleaned away impurities of oil
contamination, rust, moisture and so on.
4) The welding conditions mentioned above for reference only and it is better to
do a welding procedure qualification according to project before put it into
formal welding.
