Exaton 15W

Exaton 15W is a basic welding flux for submerged arc welding giving good slag removal and a fine bead appearance. Its relatively high basicity makes it suitable for joining of austenitic and duplex stainless steel when high impact strength is desired. Due to its low niobium content burn-off it can be used advantageously with stabilized wire electrodes. Exaton 15W is a high performance welding flux in many joining applications in the chemical, petrochemical and oil&gas industry. It is particularly suited for Exaton range of duplex wire electrodes (e.g. 22.8.3.L/25.10.4.L) due to the highly neutral behavior, which ensures an optimal balanced microstructure. Taking the benefit of its features (not limited to nice bead appearance and self slag release only), it can also be used in combination with NiCrMo-3 and NiCrMo-4 wires for several other applications (i.e. both joining and weld overlay).

Exaton 15W

For SAW Stainless Steel Welding in Heavy Duty Environments

Developed from a legacy of over 80 years in specialty alloy filler metals, Exaton (formerly Sandvik Welding Operations) is the leading brand in high-quality, corrosion-resistant filler metals. Products are made for welding stainless steel and nickel alloys in the most demanding environments.

Unbeatable Quality in SAW Wire

Wire quality is consistent from batch to batch in terms of chemistry, mechanical properties and dimensional tolerances. Get consistent welds with no need to trim the parameters.

Innovative Corrosion-Resistant Chemistry

Exaton's innovative chemistry provides high corrosion resistance with increased content of chemical elements such as Cr and Mo. It also delivers productivity improvements, such as permissible finished chemistry with a single layer weld overlay in applications that traditionally required two or even three layers.

SAW Flux with Less Moisture & Damage

Steel drum packaging delivers high moisture resistance and less damage during shipping and handling. This better protects the flux inside. Available in 20-25 kg drums.

SAW Flux that Helps You Save

Electroslag welding is similar to submerged arc strip cladding. The difference, however, is in the flux. ESW flux provides increased speed and fewer cladding layers (weld deposit), resulting in an overall lower cost of operation. Savings are in consumable costs and fewer man hours required.
