Proprietary Formula None Applicable

FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

Ideally suited for overlaying mining and earth moving equipment. Excellent for wire saws and other edges requiring cutting action combined with abrasion resistance.

  • A seemed tubular rod identical in construction to 1230 with the exception that it is not flux coated. This bare alloy is designed for use without flux using both oxyacetylene and TIG processes.
  • Specially selected carbides for maximum cutting action.
  • Extremely high percent of tungsten carbide.
  • Primary carbides provide maximum cutting action, while secondary carbides dissolve to strengthen matrix.
