EN ISO CODE:
Composite submerged arc welding wires recommended with Lotherme SAF-704 flux for re-building of steel mill rolls.
LOTHERME HF-20 is a composite SAW wire of 1-2% Cr, 2-3% Ni, low carbon with controlled addition of Silicon & Molybdenum for buffer layer deposits. The weld metal has excellent bonding property, resistance to solidification cracking and is easily machinable.
LOTHERME SAF-704 is an agglomerated basic flux, shall be re-dried at 350°C before use.
