K285 - Lincoln Electric K285 Subarc Flux Cone Assembly

Optimize Your Subarc Welds with the Lincoln K285

Achieving the perfect submerged arc weld requires more than just the right voltage and wire speed; it requires precise control over your flux coverage. The Lincoln Electric K285 Concentric Flux Cone is the tool designed to give you that control. Specifically engineered for use with Lincoln's K148, K149, K391, and K129 nozzles, this cone assembly ensures that your granular flux is deposited exactly where it is needed—concentric to the electrode. This even distribution is the key to a stable arc and a smooth, defect-free bead profile.

For welders working with handheld submerged arc guns or "squirt" welders, the K285 is indispensable. It acts as the final guide for the flux, shaping the pile around the wire as you travel. Without a properly functioning flux cone, coverage can be uneven, leading to "flash through" where the arc is exposed to the air, resulting in porosity and brittle welds. The K285 eliminates this variable, allowing you to focus on travel speed and joint tracking with the confidence that your shielding is consistent.

Durability is a hallmark of Lincoln Electric products, and the K285 is no exception. It is manufactured to resist the high radiant heat generated during heavy-amperage welding and the abrasive nature of flux materials. This long service life means fewer interruptions for part replacements and more arc-on time. The assembly is lightweight yet robust, adding minimal bulk to the gun while providing maximum functionality. It is easily attached and removed for cleaning or replacement, making daily maintenance routines quick and efficient.

Whether you are welding heavy plate, structural beams, or pressure vessels, the integrity of your flux delivery system matters. The Lincoln K285 Concentric Flux Cone Assembly is the professional's choice for maintaining high-quality standards in submerged arc applications. Ensure your equipment is performing at its peak by utilizing this genuine Lincoln Electric accessory for your compatible nozzle assemblies.
