Luding® A-TIG Flux

Global Origin & Proven Technology

• Paton Institute Heritage: Developed based on the "Activating TIG" (A-TIG) method pioneered by the prestigious Paton Institute, ensuring world-class industrial performance.
• Globally Recognized Results: Extensively utilized in elite sectors including nuclear power, aerospace, and shipbuilding, with performance validated by the US Naval Joining Center (NJC).
• Pure Metallurgical Integrity: Research confirms that the activating flux does not alter the chemical composition or mechanical properties of the weld seam.

Unmatched Efficiency & Cost Savings

• 300% Penetration Increase: Dramatically boosts welding penetration to up to 3 times that of standard TIG welding under identical parameters.
• Bevel-Free Fabrication: Enables single-pass, full-penetration welding on plates under 6 mm without mechanical edge preparation, significantly reducing labor and material costs.
• Rapid Production Cycles: Cuts total production time by up to 50% by reducing the number of required weld passes and eliminating grinding stages.
• Reduced Consumables: Substantially lowers the consumption of welding wire and shielding gas by optimizing the joint design and speed.

Superior Metallurgical Quality

• Precision Deformation Control: Allows for smaller heat input specifications to achieve full penetration, effectively minimizing thermal distortion and residual stress.
• Porosity Elimination: Effectively removes hydrogen pores in titanium alloys and purifies the weld by lowering oxygen content, even in humid or poorly cleaned conditions.
• Stable Arc & Bead Formation: Ensures uniform weld width and stability, preventing "serpentine" beads on the back side even when heat dissipation or clamping is inconsistent.

Diverse Industrial Applications

• Comprehensive Material Support: Optimized for stainless steel, carbon steel, nickel-based alloys, copper-nickel alloys, and titanium alloys.
• High-Standard Sectors: Ideal for nuclear reactors, pressure vessels, oxygen cylinders, automotive wheels, and aerospace components.
• Seamless Integration: Compatible with standard TIG equipment and automated systems, requiring only a simple brush-on application before welding.
