Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes,
Subcommittee SC 3, Welding consumables.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 14174:2012), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Subclause 5.4.3 now clarifies burn-out;
— ISO 18724 has been added to Clause 2;
— Table 3 has been expanded;
— Table 5 for flux class 2, welding current and voltage have been revised;
— an example of a Z option has been added;

4 Classification
Fluxes for submerged arc welding and electroslag welding for joining and overlay welding are granular,
fusible products of mainly mineral origin, which are manufactured by various methods. Fluxes
influence the chemical composition and the mechanical properties of the weld metal.
The classification of the fluxes is divided into seven parts:
1) the first part gives a symbol indicating the product/process (see 5.1);
2) the second part gives a symbol indicating the method of manufacture (see 5.2);
3) the third part gives a symbol indicating the type of flux, characteristic chemical constituents
(see Table 1);
© ISO 2019 – All rights reserved 1
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 14174:2019
ISO 14174:2019(E)
4) the fourth part gives a symbol indicating the applications, flux class (see 5.4);
5) the fifth part gives a symbol indicating the metallurgical behaviour (see 5.5);
6) the sixth part gives a symbol indicating the type of current (see 5.6);
7) the seventh part gives a symbol indicating the diffusible hydrogen content of deposited weld metal
(see Table 6) — only applicable for class 1 fluxes.
The classification is divided into two sections.
a) the compulsory section, which includes the symbols for process, method of manufacture,
characteristic chemical constituents, and applications, i.e. the symbols defined in 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4.
b) the optional section, which includes the symbols for the metallurgical behaviour, type of current,
and diffusible hydrogen, i.e. the symbols defined in 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7.
5 Symbols
5.1 Symbol for the product/process
The symbol for the flux used in submerged arc welding for joining and overlay welding shall be the letter
S and for the flux used in electroslag welding for joining and overlay welding shall be the letters ES.
5.2 Symbol for method of manufacture
The symbol below indicates the method of manufacture:
— F: fused flux;
— A: agglomerated flux;
— M: mixed flux.
Fused fluxes are made by melting and granulating. Agglomerated fluxes are bound, granular mixtures
of finer raw materials. Mixed fluxes comprise all fluxes which, after fusing or agglomerating, are mixed
with one or more additional components or fluxes.
For particle size requirements in marking, see Clause 6.
5.3 Symbol for type of flux, characteristic chemical constituents
The symbols in Table 1 indicate the type of flux in accordance with the characteristic chemical
constituents. Elemental analysis shall be performed on representative samples of the flux. Any suitable
analytical technique may be used, but in cases of dispute reference shall be made to established
methods. Based on the elemental analysis of the flux, the characteristic chemical constituents of the
flux can be determined.
Examples of such determinations are shown in Annex A and descriptions of flux types are given in
Annex B.
5.4 Symbol for applications, flux class
5.4.1 General
A given flux may carry more than one class as specified in 5.4.2 to 5.4.5.

5.4.2 Flux class 1
These are fluxes for submerged arc welding of non-alloy and fine grain steels, high-strength steels,
creep-resisting steels, and atmospheric corrosion-resisting steels.
In general, the fluxes do not contain alloying elements, other than Mn and Si, thus the weld metal
analysis is predominantly influenced by the composition of the wire/strip electrode and metallurgical
reactions. The fluxes are suitable for joint welding and/or overlay welding. In the case of joint welding,
some fluxes can be applied for both multi-run and single-run and/or two-run technique.
In the flux designation, the digit 1 indicates class 1.
5.4.3 Flux classes 2 and 2B
These are fluxes for joint welding of stainless and heat-resisting steels and/or nickel and nickel alloys
1)
and corrosion-resistant overlay welding . Fluxes of these classes can contain alloying elements
compensating for the burn-out (elements lost to the slag).
In the flux designation, the digit 2 is used to indicate class 2 fluxes mainly suited for joint welding, but
which can also be used for strip cladding. 2B is used for fluxes especially designed for strip cladding.
5.4.4 Flux class 3
These are fluxes mainly for hard-facing overlay welding by transfer of alloying elements from the flux,
such as C, Cr or Mo.
In the flux designation, the digit 3 indicates class 3.
5.4.5 Flux class 4
These are other fluxes for which classes 1 to 3 are not applicable, e.g. fluxes for copper alloys.
In the flux designation, the digit 4 indicates class 4.

5.5 Symbol for metallurgical behaviour
5.5.1 General
The metallurgical behaviour of a flux is characterized by the contribution (pick-up and/or burn-out) of
alloying elements. Concerning fluxes for joining, the contribution is the difference between the chemical
composition of the all-weld metal deposit and the composition of the specified electrode. Concerning
fluxes for overlay welding, the contribution is the difference between the chemical composition of the
deposited weld metal of the last bead/layer and the chemical composition of the specified wire/strip
electrode.
5.5.2 Metallurgical behaviour, flux class 1
For determining the pick-up and burn-out behaviour, a wire electrode ISO 14171-A – S2 or ISO 14171-B –
SU22 shall be used in accordance with 5.5.6. The pick-up or burn-out of the elements Si and Mn shall be
stated in this sequence.
The symbols in Table 2 indicate the metallurgical behaviour of a welding flux class 1.

accordance with Table 3 and shall be used in accordance with 5.5.6.
The pick-up or burn-out of the elements C, Si, Cr, and Nb shall be stated in this sequence. If the flux adds
other elements, these shall be indicated by stating the corresponding chemical symbols (e.g. Ni, Mo)
immediately after the symbols for C, Si, Cr, and Nb.
