The Lincolnweld\u00ae 980\u00ae Submerged Arc Flux is a premium consumable designed to streamline semiautomatic submerged arc welding (SAW) operations. Engineered by Lincoln Electric, this flux combines the best characteristics of the renowned 700 and 800 series fluxes, offering a versatile solution for industrial fabrication. It is specifically formulated to provide exceptional resistance to flash-through and porosity, particularly in scenarios where arc blow is a common challenge. This makes it an invaluable asset for shops aiming to maintain high weld quality under varying conditions.<\/p>\n
One of the standout features of the Lincolnweld 980 is its compatibility with Lincolnweld\u00ae LC-72 wire, creating a high-productivity pairing that enhances deposition rates and weld integrity. The flux is manufactured to meet rigorous standards, including EN ISO 14174 \u2013 S A AB 1 and S A AR 1, ensuring consistent chemical composition and particle size. Each 50 lb bag is backed by actual Type 3.1 certificates available from the manufacturer, providing full traceability for critical projects.<\/p>\n
Ideally suited for general fabrication and structural applications, this flux excels in slag removal, even in narrow grooves where post-weld cleanup can be difficult. Its robust performance allows it to serve as a “one-flux” solution in many workshops, reducing inventory complexity while delivering professional results. Whether used for single-pass or multi-pass welding, the 980 flux ensures a stable arc and a smooth bead appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lincoln Electric\u00ae LINCOLNWELD\u00ae 980 has outstanding slag removal, also in narrow grooves.
