Description:
ESAB OK Flux 10.62 is a fully basic bonded flux intended primarily for multipass butt welding carbon and
low alloy steel plate. OK Flux 10.62 produces weld metal that is very clean metallurgically and exhibits
exceptional impact toughness at low temperatures. OK Flux 10.62 provides well shaped beads and free
peeling slag. Applications for OK Flux 10.62 include offshore oilrigs (meets CTOD requirements), fracture
critical bridge members, ship construction, pressure vessels, and tank cars. It is suitable for use with AC
and DC, single and multiwire systems at currents up to 1000 amps. OK Flux 10.62 should only be used
in applications where the base plate is free of rust and mill scale.
