Note

  • Since it is a fused flux, it has low moisture absorption and generally does not require drying before use. If damp, dry at 250C for 1-2 hours.

  • Wire cleaning: Keep wire surface clean, free of oil, rust, and moisture.

  • Groove cleaning: Clean workpiece groove and 20mm on both sides to remove water, oil, rust, and paint.

  • Parameter selection: Select appropriate current, voltage, and speed according to plate thickness, groove form, and welding position. Refer to manufacturer parameter table and conduct process evaluation.

FAQ

How do you prevent the agglomerated flux from absorbing moisture during long-distance sea freight?

Moisture control is critical for submerged‑arc welding fluxes. Our standard packaging is 25‑kilogram multi‑layer kraft paper bags lined with heavy‑duty moisture‑proof plastic bags. For extreme environments or ultra‑low hydrogen requirements (such as H5 grade), we can also provide custom heavy‑duty aluminium foil vacuum packaging. All goods are stacked on wooden pallets and tightly wrapped with multiple layers of industrial shrink film to ensure 100% dryness upon arrival at the port.

We are fabricating API 5L X70 pipes. Can we use standard neutral fluxes like GJ-301?

No. For High-Grade Oil & Gas pipeline fabrication (such as API X60 to X70), standard neutral fluxes like 301 or active fluxes like 501 are not suitable, as they cannot guarantee the required extreme low-temperature impact toughness. You must use our dedicated pipeline-grade Fluoride-Basic agglomerated flux, GJ-101Q (or GJ-101G), combined with Mo/Ni-alloyed wires (e.g., EA2 or S3Ni1Mo).This combination ensures zero loss of alloying elements and guarantees impact values of ≥27J(or much higher) at -40°C to -50°C.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) and typical delivery time for a 20ft container?

Our standard MOQ for international orders is normally 5 tons per item. For a full 20‑foot FCL container, the loading capacity is usually 24 tons subject to container space constraints, and it can reach 27 tons without pallets. A 40HQ high‑cube container can hold a maximum of 28 tons. Backed by our robust production capacity, we can finish production, quality inspection and packaging within 7‑10 days upon receiving the deposit, and deliver the goods to major Chinese ports such as Qingdao Port or Tianjin Port.

Our workshop wants to save time and energy. Is there a way to use the agglomerated flux directly without the re-baking process?

Yes! We fully understand that re-baking costs time and electricity. For customers who want to skip this step, we highly recommend selecting our Heavy-Duty Aluminum Foil Vacuum Packaging. The flux is vacuum-sealed immediately after high-temperature manufacturing. When you open the bag in your workshop, the flux is in a 100% factory-dry state and can be poured directly into the welding hopper for immediate use.

Our steel plates have light rust and mill scale, and we cannot perfectly sandblast all of them before welding. Which flux can prevent porosity in this situation?

For structural steel with surface impurities like rust, oil, or mill scale, standard neutral or high-basic fluxes will likely cause porosity. You need our GJ-501A (Aluminate-Rutile Active Flux). It features a highly active deoxidizing slag system that offers exceptional tolerance to surface contaminants. This allows you to achieve flawless, X-ray quality welds at high speeds without rigorous pre-weld grinding, significantly boosting your shop floor efficiency.
