Hardfacing Electrodes

•  A heavy coated, hydrogen controlled, all conventional position electrode depositing low alloy weld metal.
• The electrode gives soft & smooth arc which is easy to strike & re-strike.
• Superior operating characteristics with easy slag detachability.
• The welds are of radiographic quality.
• For surfacing of hot forging dies.
• For repairs of large hot working dies and earth moving equipments made of high tensile steel.
• Repair of case hardening steel parts after removing the hard zones, for repairing cracks in Ni-Cr hot working dies.

1. Ensure the electrodes are dry. Re-dry the electrodes at 250°C for one hour.

2. When welding on high hardenable materials of large thicknesses, adequate care for preheating, slow cooling & PWHT are necessary.

3. Use short arc & minimum weaving.
