ESAB SUB ARC WIRE OK AUTROD 12.22 X 2.5MM 30KG ROLL

ESAB OK Autrod 12.22 Submerged Arc Welding Wire – 2.5mm x 30kg Roll

Premium Copper-Coated SAW Wire for Structural & Fabrication Welding

The ESAB OK Autrod 12.22 is a high-quality, copper-coated, unalloyed submerged arc welding (SAW) wire engineered for consistent, high-performance welds across a wide range of structural and fabrication applications. Supplied in a convenient 2.5mm diameter, 30kg roll, this wire is a trusted choice among fabricators, shipbuilders, and pressure vessel manufacturers who demand reliable weld quality and smooth, stable arc performance.

Key Features

• Diameter: 2.5mm
• Roll Weight: 30kg
• Wire Type: Copper-coated, solid, unalloyed carbon steel wire (EM12K classification)
• Increased Silicon (Si) content for improved fluidity of the molten weld pool
• Compatible flux: Works well with most ESAB submerged arc fluxes, most notably OK Flux 10.71 (neutral flux) for wetter, higher-deposition welds, and OK Flux 10.62 for controlled, rapid-set welds
• Consistent chemistry: Manufactured with tightly controlled tolerances for predictable, repeatable mechanical properties weld after weld

Recommended Applications

OK Autrod 12.22 is an S2-classified wire, ideally suited for:

• Structural steel fabrication (275 grade structural steels)
• Shipbuilding steel construction
• Pressure vessel manufacturing
• Fine-grained steel welding
• General flat-plate production welding requiring fast deposition rates

When paired with OK Flux 10.71, this combination delivers a wetter, more flowing weld profile with higher deposition — ideal for fast, large production welds on flatter plate. When paired with OK Flux 10.62, it provides tighter, faster-setting, more controlled welds — better suited to narrower diameter pipe work where puddle control is critical.

Why Choose ESAB OK Autrod 12.22?

• Reliable arc stability for consistent penetration and bead appearance
• Copper coating improves electrical conductivity and protects against oxidation during storage and handling
• Versatile flux compatibility allows fabricators to fine-tune weld characteristics (deposition rate, penetration, and set speed) based on the job at hand
• Trusted ESAB quality backed by classification approvals from major certifying bodies (ABS, BV, DNV, GL, LR, TÜV)

Ideal For

Steel fabricators, shipyards, pressure vessel manufacturers, structural steel contractors, and welding supply distributors seeking a dependable, high-deposition SAW wire for medium-to-heavy plate welding.
