Mild Steel

A copper coated solid wire especially designed for downhill circumferential GMAW on pipes in materials such as APi 5L (grade 52 up to grade 70). The main applications are pipelines, compressor stations and associated works in the oil and gas distribution industries with special requirements. To meet these requirements the electrode is a "clean" type of EN ISO 14341-A G4Si1 as regards chemical analysis.

Agglomerated, aluminate-basic flux for Submerged Arc Welding with high tolerance to rust & mill scale. Smooth surface finish and nice-looking welds also under severe plate surface conditions. Easy slag detachability. Primarily for horizontal fillet welds, also for butt welds. High welding speeds. For general construction, beam fabrication, pressure vessels, transport industries, etc. Suitable for DC and AC welding. Intended for a limited number of passes and plate thickness up to about 25 mm.

A basic cored wire for submerged arc welding.

Copper-coated, unalloyed wire for Submerged Arc and Electroslag Welding. Suitable in combination with most fluxes. For structural steels, ship building steels, pressure vessel steels, fine grained steels, etc.

A non copper coated, G4Si1/ER70S-6 solid wire for GMAW of unalloyed and low-alloyed carbon-manganese steels, with an unique surface technology. Compared with typical G4Si1/ER70S-6 wires, OK AristoRod 12.63 HP has a slightly higher content of strengthening elements and very low level of impurity elements, which provides higher strength and good impact toughness down to -50°C. The high silicon content promotes low sensitivity to surface impurities and contributes to smooth, sound welds. OK AristoRod 12.63 HP has excellent feedability, very consistent welding performance and is particularly suited to be used in general construction, automotive components and mobile machinery industries and in robotic applications. The wire may be welded with either a gas mixture or with pure CO2 as shielding gas.

Agglomerated, aluminate-rutile, low basicity flux for Submerged Arc Welding. High welding speeds. Smooth weld beads and excellent slag detachability. For general construction, membrane wall panels, beam fabrications, automotive (wheels), etc. Primarily used with single- or twin-arc wire systems. For DC and AC. For single pass butt welds, overlap welds and fillet welds at high speeds.

Dual Shield 700X is a high deposition, deep penetration wire for joining of heavy structural steel components. Designed for flat and horizontal position welding using CO2 shielding gas, this X Series wire provides high deposition rates, high efficiency and excellent performance. The bead contour, smooth ripple and slag chemistry allow easy slag removal even in narrow groves.

The non copper coated OK AristoRod 12.57 is a manganese-silicon bearing solid wire for welding of unalloyed steels, such as general structural, pressure vessel and ship building steels with a minimum tensile strength of 500 MPa, and for fine-grained carbon-manganese steels for the same purpose with a minimum yield strength of max 400 MPa. The electrode can be welded with Ar/20CO2 or with pure CO2 as the shielding gas. The wire electrode is suitable for welding at high currents.

OK 46.00 is an excellent performing, easy to use, rutile electrode and is relatively insensitive to rust or other surface impurities. It deposits smooth weld beads in all positions including vertical down with self releasing slag. Good striking and restriking properties making it ideal for short welds, root runs and tacking, also useful for bridging gaps.

A copper coated, G3Si1/ER70S-6 solid wire for GMAW of all general structural and engineering unalloyed and low-alloyed carbon-manganese steels. The electrode may be welded with either a gas mixture or with pure CO2 as the shielding gas. OK Autrod 12.51 delivered in the unique Esab Octagonal Marathon Pac is an excellent choice in mechanised welding applications
