Activated-flux TIG (A-TIG) enables single pass low distortion welding of stainless steels in a section depth widely used for nuclear waste containment.
The activated flux is applied prior to welding and produces a narrower deeper TIG weld.
Benefits
- Shorter welding times
- Reduced consumption of filler wire
- Elimination of back-gouging and/or grinding
- Reduced distortion
- Reduced susceptibility to cast-to-cast variations in weld penetration
- Activated fluxes give increased penetration in steels
- Flux applied by spray, paste or brush applicator
