Fluxes for submerged arc welding

The various types of saw welding fluxes bearing the PITTARC trademark cover a wide range of applications to join carbon and low allied steel.

Thanks to the various wire/flux combinations made available by PITTARC, joints with excellent mechanical characteristics can be obtained, also in the most critical applications. Basic and semi-basic fluxes have low hydrogen contents to obtain joints with high strength and can be used for the various SAW welding techniques: single pass, multi-pass, single wire, multi-wire, twin-arc or tandem.

These products can be used in various industrial fields such as manufacturing of oil and gas pipes, water pipes, offshore applications, pressure vessels, wind towers, heavy frames, etc.

All fluxes are available in standard 25 kg bags or 600÷1200 kg big bags.
