EN ISO CODE: 14174 SA FB 1 67 DC

Maxflux SAF-8 (PW) is an agglomerated fluoride-basic type flux suitable to weld medium to high strength steels where very low diffusible hydrogen content, good crack resistance and higher sub-zero toughness properties are desired from the weld metal. The flux is neutral in Mn & Si pick up and especially designed to meet the tensile & impact requirements after post-weld heat treatment condition up to 7 hours of holding at 620 C. The weld deposit is of radiographic quality.
Maxflux SAF-8 (PW) is suitable for single & multi-layer welding of high tensile quenched & tempered steel, fine grained steels, heat resistant structural steels, nuclear sector fabrication, etc.
