ESAB Pipeweld 78LH Flux allows coating shortly after welding
ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced Pipeweld 78LH Flux, a low-hydrogen flux for longitudinal or spiral welding of pipeline steel grades, such as X70 and X80, using multiwire SAW processes. A new flux formulation and production process enable the flux to meet the H4 classification of ≤ 4 ml of diffusible hydrogen per 100 g of weld metal as produced. Because of its low- hydrogen formulation and moisture resistance, the flux enables coating a few hours after welding.
It controls the bead width and profile to deliver proper and adequate reinforcement. A low transition angle between the weld crown and base plate prevents overwelding and the associated waste of filler metal. Because of its grain size, the flux can be recaptured and reused.
