| INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS |
AWS/ASME: NONE
DIN 8555: E6-UM-60-GP
| FEATURES & APPLICATIONS |
General Hardfacing where some impact is combined with abrasion.
- Economical Hardfacing electrode for abrasion and moderate impact.
- The best Hardfacing electrode for low open circuit voltage AC welding machines.
- Spray transfer allows for smooth, uniform overlays.
- Hardness of RC 56-58 allows for good abrasion resistance along with moderate impact resistance.
- Also available as a special tubular MIG wire as Product code 7260.
