JIS W11

General Characteristics

It is a kind of low-manganese and low-silicon type welding wire. It matches with high-manganese and high-silicon type welding flux. It is not sensitive to the rust on the base metal. It has excellent bead molding and slag detachability. It is the most frequently used submerged-arc welding wire. Monopole or dipole. AC/DC.

Applications

Uses: Used together with fused flux 431 or sintered fluxes 301 and 501 for both high speed welding and filling welding on 50kg class base metals.
