OVERVIEW

Industry Standard SAW Flux for Professional Welders

When it comes to Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), consistency and reliability are everything. The Lincoln Electric Lincolnweld® 860® Flux has earned its reputation as the industry standard for a reason. Designed for general welding applications, this neutral flux offers a forgiving operating window that makes it a favorite among operators. Whether you are welding long structural beams, heavy pipe, or general fabrication components, the 860 flux helps you lay down smooth, consistent beads with minimal effort. Its neutral formulation means you can run multiple passes without worrying about excessive buildup of alloying elements that could lead to cracking.

Performance in the field is where Lincolnweld 860 truly shines. It provides excellent slag removal, often peeling off by itself or with very light chipping, which significantly reduces cleanup time and speeds up production. The arc stability provided by this granular flux ensures that you get deep penetration and proper fusion, reducing the risk of defects. For projects that demand toughness, this flux delivers. When used with the popular Lincolnweld L-61 wire, it produces welds that stay tough even in freezing conditions, rated for impact resistance down to -40°F. This gives you the confidence to tackle jobs that will be exposed to harsh environments.

This 50 lb bag is the perfect size for shop use, providing enough material for substantial runs while remaining manageable to handle. Lincoln Electric's commitment to quality means every bag contains flux with consistent particle size and moisture control, ensuring that your feeder runs smoothly without clogging. If you are setting up a sub-arc tractor or a beam line, starting with a known quantity like the Lincolnweld 860 eliminates variables and lets you dial in your parameters quickly.

Upgrade your sub-arc process with the flux that professionals trust. The Lincolnweld 860 combines ease of use with industrial-strength mechanical properties. It is versatile enough for a wide range of wire combinations but performs exceptionally well with standard mild steel wires. Don't settle for inconsistent results; choose the flux that has powered the welding industry for decades.

FAQ

Lincolnweld 860 is a neutral submerged arc welding flux. Neutral fluxes are designed so that the weld metal composition does not change significantly with variations in arc voltage, making them ideal for multi-pass welding.

While it can be used with various wires, it is specifically noted for producing excellent impact toughness when paired with Lincolnweld® L-61 wire.

This product comes in a 50 lb (22.7 kg) bag.

Yes, Lincolnweld 860 is certified to EN ISO 14174 – S A AB 1 standards.

When used with Lincolnweld L-61, it is capable of producing weld deposits with impact toughness exceeding 27 J (20 ft·lbf) at -40°C (-40°F).

Submerged arc flux should be stored in a dry, controlled environment to prevent moisture pickup. If the flux absorbs moisture, it may need to be re-baked in a rod oven according to manufacturer specifications before use to prevent hydrogen cracking.

As a neutral flux, Lincolnweld 860 is excellent for multi-pass welding because it prevents the buildup of alloying elements that can occur with active fluxes in thick joints.

Yes, Actual (Type 3.1) certificates showing chemical composition, particle size, and moisture level for each lot are available from Lincoln Electric.
