Mechanical characteristics

Why choose ABRAFIL UP S2?

  • 1. High productivity

    • Very good deposition rate thanks to SAW process + adapted composition, ideal for high thicknesses.

  • 2. Excellent metallurgical quality

    • The addition of Si (silicon) improves de-aeration, reduces inclusions and produces a clean, homogeneous metal.

  • 3. Good toughness and mechanical strength

    • Mn (manganese) and Si contents favor a tensile strength of > 500 MPa, with good toughness at -20°C (or even -40°C with suitable flux).

  • 4. Very good cord appearance

    • Smooth, even bead with no undercutting or slag inclusions.

  • 5. Good bow stability

    • ABRAFIL UP S2 promotes a stable arc even at high amperage, which is essential in automatic welding.

  • 6. Versatility with agglomerated or molten streams

    • Compatible with a wide range of neutral or alloying fluxes, depending on the desired mechanical performance.
