Specify ESAB welding consumables from the process, base metal and feeding method. Grade, diameter and packaging are confirmed from your input data.
Choose the process: manual welding, gas-shielded wire welding, submerged-arc welding, hardfacing or cast-iron repair. Preserve the complete grade name and classification.
OK 67.50 is an acid-rutile electrode for duplex steels of the 22 5 3 and 23 4 types, classified E 22 9 3 N L R 3 2 and E2209-17. OK 68.81 deposits ferritic-austenitic duplex weld metal at about FN 40 and is used for dissimilar joints and surfacing. Both run on DC+ or AC.
OK 48.00 is a general-purpose basic-coated electrode for carbon, carbon-manganese and fine-grained steels with elevated yield strength, classified E7018 H4 R and E 42 4 B 42 H5.
It deposits tough, crack-resistant weld metal with diffusible hydrogen below 4 ml per 100 g and was tested to NACE TM0177 and TM0284.
OK Autrod 12.51 (G3Si1 / ER70S-6) welds unalloyed and low-alloy steels in gas mixtures or CO2. OK AristoRod 13.22 is a Cr-Mo wire for creep-resistant steels up to 600 °C, and OK AristoRod 13.26 suits weathering steels.
OK Tigrod 316L (W 19 12 3 L / ER316L) is a TIG rod for austenitic stainless steel.
Dual Shield II 71 Ultra is an all-position wire for low and medium carbon steels used with CO2 (AWS A5.20 E71T-1CJ-H8). Dual Shield II 110 joins high-strength steels such as HY-100 and T-1 in 75% Ar / 25% CO2 and reaches 760 MPa (110 ksi) yield strength as welded.
The Shield-Bright series are rutile cored wires for all-position welding of stainless steels in mixed gas or CO2. Grades 308L, 316L and 309L are classified E308LT1, E316LT1 and E309LT1; 309L also joins stainless to carbon or low-alloy steel and is used for first-layer cladding.
OK Flux 10.71 is a general-purpose agglomerated aluminate-basic flux (EN ISO 14174 S A AB 1 67 AC H5). OK Flux 10.72 targets low-temperature toughness in wind towers and pressure vessels.
OK Flux 10.62 is a high-basicity neutral flux for multipass welding of carbon and low-alloy plate at up to 1000 A.
OK 92.28 (AWS A5.11 E NiCrFe-3) is a nickel-based electrode for Inconel 600-type alloys, cryogenic steels and dissimilar joints. OK NiFe-CI (ENiFe-CI, EN ISO 1071 E C NiFe-1 3) repairs cast iron and joins it to steel, for example pump bodies, gear teeth and flanges.
OK 84.85 (DIN 8555 E 10-UM-65-GRZ) deposits austenite with complex carbides for very high abrasion. OK 84.77 (EN 14700 E Z Fe14) is specified for sugar-mill rolls. OK Tubrodur 13Cr S (EN 14700 T Fe7) is a cored wire for 13% chromium deposits, used with OK Flux 10.61.
Base metal and thicknesses, process, welding position, current type, shielding gas and weld-metal requirements. List batch documents separately.
EN ISO or AWS classification, diameter, packaging type, batch mass and purchase volume. Identify flux and wire as a pair.
ESAB welding consumables are considered as part of a production process: covered electrodes for manual welding, wires for semi-automatic and mechanised equipment, fluxes for submerged-arc welding, nickel alloys and hardfacing products. Welding machines and cutting equipment are outside this section.
For a new work area, define the process, base metal, thicknesses and output volume first, then select grades. For an existing area, the classification of the material in use, its diameter and its packaging are usually enough to begin.
Describe the base-metal grades and thicknesses, joint types, welding position, process and current type. State the shielding gas if it is already fixed on site, together with any toughness, test-temperature or corrosion requirements.
Mark the documents required separately: batch certificate, data sheet, test report or classification-society approval. ESAB product pages state that approvals depend on the factory location, so the required document is confirmed for a specific batch.
If the area works to a qualified welding procedure, attach its parameters and the specified consumable. Changing a filler material may require requalification, and that decision remains with the welding engineer of the plant.
ESAB covered electrodes for stainless steel are grouped by coating into rutile, basic and high-deposition types. OK 67.50 and OK 68.81 are rutile electrodes with duplex weld metal, and OK 48.00 is a basic electrode for carbon steels.
For manual welding, specify diameter, length, welding position and power source. ESAB supplies its stainless electrodes in VacPac vacuum packaging from 0.7 to 2 kg, with smaller outer cartons for small diameters.
For semi-automatic equipment and robots, the wire type, diameter, shielding gas and package format matter. OK Autrod 12.51 is delivered in Marathon Pac drums intended for mechanised welding, while Dual Shield and Shield-Bright wires run with CO2 or an argon and CO2 mixture.
Flux-cored wires give all-position welding and suit shipbuilding, bridges, railcars and heavy equipment. Grade and gas are chosen together, and a gas change on site should be checked against the product data sheet.
For creep-resistant steels consider OK AristoRod 13.22 for service temperatures up to 600 °C, and OK AristoRod 13.26 for weathering steels. OK Tigrod 316L is the published TIG rod for austenitic stainless steel.
In submerged-arc welding the flux and wire are selected as a pair, and ESAB states that mechanical values are guaranteed for the chosen combination. OK Flux 10.71 is general purpose, OK Flux 10.72 targets low-temperature toughness and OK Flux 10.62 suits multipass welding of clean plate.
For worn components, OK 84.85, OK 84.77 and the OK Tubrodur 13Cr S cored wire with OK Flux 10.61 are the published hardfacing options. State the wear mode, temperature, base material and the dimensions of the area to be built up.
Nickel electrodes OK 92.28 and OK NiFe-CI are used for Inconel 600-type alloys, dissimilar steels and cast-iron repair. The base material determines the acceptable grade, so attach its composition.
For stainless steel ESAB publishes the OK 67.50 and OK 68.81 electrodes, Shield-Bright 308L, 309L and 316L flux-cored wires, the OK Tigrod 316L rod and OK Autrod 16.95, an ER307 (mod) type wire. For each grade state the base-metal group: austenitic, duplex or other.
For stainless-to-carbon joints the 309L cored wire is considered, and OK 67.50 for duplex steels. Grade 316L is described by the manufacturer for chemical and food processing and for shipbuilding.
The filler grade must match the base-metal group and the service conditions. Attach the steel certificate, the joint drawing and the working environment so that the choice can be clarified before quotation.
Basic electrodes and fluxes are sensitive to moisture. Take redrying and storage conditions from the technical data sheet and the pack marking, and agree the volume and shipment schedule in advance when buying ahead.
At receiving, compare the grade, diameter, mass and batch number with the agreed specification. Do not release damaged vacuum packs or damp electrodes for production without a decision by the welding specialist.
To start a quotation, send the grade or classification, base metal, diameter, packaging and purchase volume. Missing details can be listed on a separate line of the enquiry.
Availability, price, lead time, supplier status, certificates and approvals are not stated in advance. Grade, supply scope and documents are confirmed for the specific enquiry.
Send the grade or classification, base metal, diameter, packaging and purchase volume. Include a work contact and delivery destination.
