AS 460

AS 460 is an agglomerated aluminate-basic type flux for the welding of general structural steels, boiler and pipe steels, as well as fine-grain structural steels. To be used in combination with the wire electrodes AS35 and AS40A. AS 460 is suitable for twin-wire, tandem and multi-wire welding using the single layer or multi-layer techniques. For higher level of toughness, an AS 40A wire electrode is recommended when welding from both sides in one pass or when welding one-sided with the single layer technique. The finely rippled bead surface and the good slag detachability make AS 460 perfectly suited for fillet welds. It can be welded on DC and AC up to 1000 A with the single-wire technique.
