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.
