DETAILS
WEARSHIELD® 15CRMN stick electrode is ideal for joining, repair or build-up of austenitic manganese alloys producing tough, high-strength deposits that will work harden under impact. Typical applications include crusher hammers and earth moving equipment. It can be welded in all positions (except vertical down) and can be applied in unlimited layers
Features
- Provides a premium austenitic chromium manganese deposit
- Resists severe impact or gouging even in a single layer over carbon steel
- Used to join Hadfield manganese steel to itself or to carbon steel
- Excellent for build-up on carbon steel prior to chromium carbide hardfacing deposit with an electrode such as Wearshield® 60
- Unlimited layers
