69050131 - All-State 155 FC Flux-Coated Maintenance Rod 3/32" (5lb)

High-Performance Maintenance & Repair Alloy

The ESAB All-State 155 FC is a premium quality, flux-coated torch rod engineered specifically for the maintenance and repair industry. Known widely as a "problem solver," this rod is formulated to join a vast array of steel grades, including carbon steels, low-alloy steels, tool steels, spring steels, and even stainless steels. Its versatility makes it an indispensable asset in any maintenance shop or field service truck where oxy-fuel equipment is the primary heat source.

One of the standout features of the 155 FC is its integrated flux coating. This specialized coating promotes excellent wetting action and ensures the base metal is properly cleaned and protected from oxidation during the heating process. This eliminates the need for the operator to constantly dip the hot rod into a separate container of flux, thereby speeding up the repair process and ensuring a consistent application of flux throughout the weld. The result is a porosity-free, dense deposit that bonds tenaciously to the base metal.

Metallurgically, the All-State 155 FC produces deposits with high tensile strength, typically exceeding 85,000 psi. Despite this high strength, the weld metal remains ductile and fully machinable, allowing for post-weld finishing such as turning, milling, or drilling. This is particularly critical for repairing shafts, gears, and mechanical components that must be returned to precise dimensional tolerances. The rod also provides an excellent color match to most steels, ensuring that repairs on visible surfaces blend seamlessly with the original component.

This 5-pound package of 3/32-inch diameter rods (18 inches in length) provides a substantial supply for ongoing maintenance tasks. Whether you are building up worn gear teeth, repairing a broken leaf spring, or joining a stainless steel bracket to a mild steel frame, the All-State 155 FC delivers reliability and ease of use that professionals trust.
