DAIKOFLUX 490-W

SAW
  • CARBON STEELS
STRUCTURAL STEEL

Description

It is a fluoride-basic flux with high basicity and low impurities level such as P and S. As a result of low oxygen level in the weld metal high toughness at low temperature and uniform mechanical properties are achieved. It is suitable for welding on DC and AC using single and tandem wire processes.
The low hydrogen levels after redrying and the optimum mechanical properties enables welding of thick-walled construction steels with yield strength up to 420 MPa, off-shore application with YS up to 460 MPa on base materials like BS 4360-Grade 50 D and S355 2G3 according to EN 10025, fine grain structural steel for low temperature requirements with impact toughness at -60 °C or bellow, high tensile fine grain steel such as S690QL1 and N-A-XTRA® 70, boiler and pressure vessels steels such as 16Mo3/A204 grade A, 13CrMo4-5/A387 grade 12 or 10CrMo9-10/A387 grade 22.

Description

Application

Carbon-manganese steels (C-Mn) are the backbone for a wide range of applications in the structural engineering industry. Welding of these steel structures can be successfully achieved provided the material composition is known, appropriate precautions are adopted, and qualified procedures are followed. Weldability varies based on the type of C-Mn steel, and there is a risk of defects such as hydrogen cracking, solidification cracking, or reheat cracking, which depend on specific operating conditions. The proposed consumables offer effective resistance to these issues, emphasizing the importance of a carefully defined welding process. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) are not always necessary, but their adoption depends on the type and thickness of the base material. The desired mechanical properties in the welded joint can be achieved using appropriate consumables. However, the complex structural transformations that occur during the welding thermal cycle require careful evaluation of critical parameters such as the toughness and hardness of the heat-affected zone (HAZ).

Alloy Type

Consumables for welding mild and C-Mn steels of 340-510MPa tensile strength.

Microstructure

Predominantly ferrite.

Materials

Carbon and carbon-manganese steels encompass a wide range of structural and pressure-grade materials commonly used in construction, mechanical engineering, and industrial plant applications. Among the EN-standardized grades are non-alloy structural steels intended for general use, known for their good weldability and progressively higher mechanical strength. The “P” grades, on the other hand, are pressure vessel steels typically used in boilers and heat exchangers. Equivalent ASTM specifications cover a similar scope of applications and are widely adopted internationally for structural components, piping, and fittings exposed to pressure or high temperatures. Lastly, API specifications are typical of the oil & gas sector, particularly for the production of pipelines used in hydrocarbon transport, offering increasing levels of mechanical strength and specific performance requirements.
