| 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.
