Application / Properties:  Agglomerated aluminate-rutile type flux for welding general structural steels, pressure vessel and pipe steels, as well as fine grain structural  steels . AMA OP123  produces a slight silicon and mean manganese pick-up. Owing to its metallurgical behaviour, It can be used with 50-11, 50-12, 50-14 wire electrodes. It is suited to be used in twin-wire and multi-wire  welding, as well as in welding from both sides in one pass, e.g. In the production of large diameter pipes. With  this process variant, the use of molybdenum alloyed wire electrodes for increased toughness values is advisable. An outstanding feature of AMA OP 123 flux is its high current carrying capacity. Unless there are limitation imposed by base metal quality, this feature of the flux can be of benefit when slag can be easily removed in all cases, the slag being short, i.e. girth seams of small diameter work pieces can be welded without the danger of the slag running off. On account of its low bulk density, flux consumption is low.

AMA OP 123  can be used on either DC (positive) or AC up to 1000A. 

 

Damp flux shall be redried by baking at 300-350C

For welding from both side in one pass, especially in multi-wire welding 50-14 wire electrode should be used

 because of the fine-grain formation caused by molybdenum.
