OVERVIEW

Lincoln Electric 980 Flux: The Versatile Shop Solution

Maximize your welding productivity with the Lincoln Electric Lincolnweld® 980® Submerged Arc Flux. This 50 lb bag of flux is a favorite among professional welders for its ability to handle a wide range of semiautomatic submerged arc welding tasks. By merging the performance traits of Lincoln's 700 and 800 series, the 980 flux offers a balanced formulation that resists common welding defects like porosity and flash-through caused by magnetic arc blow.

Welders appreciate the operational ease of the Lincolnweld 980. It is designed for outstanding slag removal, which significantly reduces cleanup time, especially when welding in deep or narrow grooves. This self-peeling characteristic allows operators to focus on the next pass rather than chipping away stubborn slag. When paired with Lincolnweld® LC-72 wire, this flux delivers especially high productivity, making it a cost-effective choice for high-volume fabrication environments.

Considered a "one-flux" solution for many shops, the Lincolnweld 980 simplifies inventory by performing reliably across various applications. Its alloy type (MSLA) and adherence to EN ISO 14174 standards guarantee that you are using a high-quality product capable of meeting industrial demands. Whether you are working on heavy machinery, structural steel, or general repairs, this flux provides the stability and consistency needed for superior welds.
