Stick (SMAW)

High chromium-carbide hardfacing electrode

DETAILS

It has been designed to withstand high abrasive wear under pressure, combined with medium impacts which are specially caused by coarse sand and hard minerals. For overlaying carbon steels, low alloy steels and 12% austenitic manganese steels, it produces very thick deposits and so only one pass is usually required for most applications. Weld deposit is smooth, of good shape anzd with little or no slag residues. Deposits may check crack to relieve stresses but this will not adversely affect weld adhesion or wear characteristics. Can be machined only by grinding.
