Standards: DIN EN 758 T 46 2 P C 1 H5 / T 46 2 P M 1 H5AWS/ASME SFA-5.20 E71T-1 H4 / E71T-1M H4

Applications and properties:The higher fil ling degree of FLUXOFIL 14 HD results in higher current carrying capacity and deposition rate. Weldingspeed is thereby essentially increased which leads to a saving of time and reduction of costs. It can be used in allpositions with only one setting of welding parameters (24 volts, wire feed = 9m/min, wire dia. 1,2 mm). FLUXOFIL 14HD is employed in manual welding, as well as in fully mechanized welding by means of the orbital welding unit CI-TOTRACK OSG-O1 or the vert ical welding set CITOTRACK VSG-O1. It is preferably used under mixed shield ing gasand is characterized by low spatter loss, good slag removal and finely rippled, pore-free welds without undercuttinginto the base metal.Materials:
