ED031853 - Lincolnweld 880M Submerged Arc Flux 50lb Bag

Industrial Grade Submerged Arc Flux

The Lincoln Electric Lincolnweld 880M is a premium basic flux engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial welding applications. Identified by SKU ED031853, this 50-pound bag of flux is formulated to provide superior mechanical properties and consistent performance in submerged arc welding (SAW) processes. As a basic flux, it is characterized by its ability to produce welds with high impact toughness and low oxygen content, making it an ideal choice for critical structural components and pressure vessel fabrication where weld integrity is paramount.

One of the standout technical features of the Lincolnweld 880M is its optimization for multiple pass applications. In heavy fabrication, where thick sections require numerous layers of weld metal, the stability and slag detachability of the flux are critical. This product excels in deep groove scenarios, offering excellent slag removal that minimizes inter-pass cleaning time and reduces the risk of slag inclusions. It is specifically recommended for use with solid mild steel and low alloy electrodes, as well as Lincoln Electric's proprietary LAC series of low alloy flux-cored electrodes, providing versatility across a range of base materials.

The flux is manufactured to strict quality standards, conforming to EN ISO 14174 – S A FB 1 specifications. This ensures that every bag delivers consistent particle size and moisture levels, which are crucial for maintaining a stable arc and uniform bead appearance. The 880M is particularly effective in single arc AC submerged arc welding configurations, helping to mitigate arc blow issues often encountered with DC polarity in complex magnetic environments. By choosing Lincolnweld 880M, fabricators ensure a high-quality metallurgical bond and efficient production cycles.
