We have specialists for all target segments who understand your specific challenges and give support in finding optimum welding solutions. Thermal power voestalpine Böhler Welding develops creep resistant and high temperature filler metals, including products for Advanced Super Critical Power Stations. Very well received in North America are our flux-cored wires for P91 and P92 creep resistant steels for which long term creep data is available. A wide range of products for heat resistant/high temperature applications complement our program. Oil and gas Our products can be found in every field of oil and gas production and processing. For the oil & gas upstream segment, we supply a complete range of filler materials for all applied welding processes covering the various strength levels, most of which are lowhydrogen falling in AWS class H4. Part of these is our vast range of seamless cored wires which offer the best possible protection against hydrogen induced or hydrogen assisted cracking. Relevant to both oil & gas upstream and downstream is our complete range of 1% Ni-alloyed welding consumables with all-weld metal Ni-content kept below 1% to ensure conformance with the NACE MR0175 requirement for SSC safe service in sour environments. In addition, our program features a vast range of filler metals all grades of duplex stainless steel and for Ni-base alloys, including CRA cladding solutions. LNG voestalpine Böhler Welding has been involved in the LNG industry from the very beginning with advanced products and welding procedures for the safe and efficient construction of typical LNG transport, storage and handling installations, such as: Civil construction Our broad portfolio of products is applied in the prefabrication of components and on-site welding of buildings, bridges, masts, highway structures and other civil constructions. A vast range of stick electrodes and gas and self-shielded cored wires, including types certified for seismic applications according to AWS D1.8., allow the productive, manual out-of-position welding. Extra moisture resistant stick electrodes in vacuum packaging or hermetically sealed cans and seamless cored wires give optimum protection against moisture reabsorption when used outdoors and thereby protection against hydrogen cracking in all US climate zones. Pipeline construction Material specifications play a crucial role in the success and integrity of on and offshore pipeline construction, especially in lowtemperature and sour service applications. voestalpine Böhler Welding offers a full range of cellulosic, and basic vertical-down and vertical-up electrodes, as well as solid, flux and metal-cored wires for semi-automatic and fully mechanized welding, selfshielded flux cored wires and submerged arc wires and fluxes for steel grades up to X100.

EN ISO 14174: 3 - 20 UV 400 is an agglomerated aluminate basic flux, designed for joining and surfacing applications with general-purpose structural steels, fine-grained structural steels, boiler and pipe steels. The flux is characterized by its low silicon and moderate manganese pickup. It can be used on DC and AC. Grain size acc. EN ISO 14174: 3 - 20 UV 418 TT is an agglomerated fluoride-basic flux for joining and surfacing and applications with dissimilar steels. Mainly for high-strength and cryogenic finegrained structural steels. This multi-purpose flux is suited for many SAW wires on AC and DC current. Also suited for tandem and multi wire systems. Grain size acc. EN ISO 14174: 3 - 20 UV 420 TTR is an agglomerated fluoride-basic flux, mainly for joining and surfacing applications with creep resistant steels. It displays neutral metallurgical behaviour and is characterized by a high degree of purity. It is particularly suitable for welding hydro crackers because of the low P pick-up of 0.004 % max. UV 420 TTR-W permits sound welding on AC, by this achieving a higher level of toughness when welding with CrMo-alloyed SAW wires. Grain size acc. EN ISO 14174: 3 - 20 This special variant of flux UV 420 TTR supports the C-content of the wire electrode when DC welding. In comparison with UV 420 TTR the C-content in the all weld metal is about 0.03 - 0.04 % higher. It is suitable for multi pass welding, for single- and tandem-wire systems. UV 420 TTRC has prime importance for the SAW of high-temperature resistant steel, for joining and surfacing applications. Grain size acc. EN ISO 14174: 3 - 20 UV 421 TT is an agglomerated fluoride-basic flux for welding of high-strength and cryogenic fine-grained steels. It has a neutral metalurgical behaviour acc. to burn-off or pickup of Si and Mn. Density: 1.0 kg/dm³ Avesta Flux 805 is a basic, slightly chomiumcompensating agglomerated flux. It is primarily designed for welding with high-alloyed stainless filler metals such as Avesta P12, 904L and 2205. Standard Cr-Ni and Cr-Ni-Mo fillers can also be welded with excellent results. Grain size acc. EN ISO 14174: 4 - 14 Record IND 24 is an agglomerated basic welding flux for welding stainless high alloyed Cr-Ni-(Mo) steels. The weld seams are smooth and finely rippled without any slag residues. Besides the good slag detachability the flux also provides good fillet weld properties. The weld metals show a high degree of purity and good mechanical properties. Grain size acc. EN ISO 14174: 3 - 20 Marathon 543 is an agglomerated fluoride-basic flux with a high basicity. For joining and surfacing applications of creep resistant CrMo steels such as e.g. 12CrMo 19-5, P91/T91, X10CrMoVNb9-1, X20CrMoWV12-1. In combintion with SAW wire Thermanit MTS 616 the flux is suited for welding steels of type P92 and X11CrMoWVNb9-1-1, E 911. 25 Pipeline consumables Pipeline consumables Product name classification Mechanical properties Typical values Ø mm BÖHLER FOX CEL+ Heat treatment: as welded AWS A5.1: E6010 YS UTS Elong CVN 2.5 3.2 4.0 3/32 1/8 5/32 Cellulosic covered electrode for vertical-down welding of the root, hot passes, filler and cap passes on large pipelines.
