FEATURES & APPLICATIONS |
General wear protection on all iron base parts subject to abrasion.
- Large diameter – – low amperage tubular hardfacing electrode.
- Thin walled tubular construction allows for very low amperages.
- Base metal dilution is negligible and maximum hardness is achieved rapidly.
- Quickest non-automated overlaying technique.
- Special bendable aluminum grip end caps allow for easy gripping and positioning of the electrode.
All Weld Metal Analysis (Typical Weight %) |
Microstructure: In the as-welded condition, the microstructure consists of an austenitic alloy matrix (bulk hardness RC57) and chromium/complex carbides (hardness RA 77).
