Characteristics

LoTherme-60-RE is an alloyed air-hardening type of electrode depositing non-machinable weld metal. It has a finely ripped bead due to spray transfer arc. The electrode is weldable at very low amperage to assist edge build up.

Applications

It is ideally suited for rock drill, bulldozer blade, drill bits, coal-cutter blades, excavator teeth, bucket lip, etc.

Weld Metal Hardness

55-60 RC

Welding Technique

Preheat high alloy tool steels to 400-450°C and maintain this temperature during the whole welding process. Hold electrode vertically with a short arc and lowest possible amperage setting. Machining is only by grinding. Re-dry electrodes that have got damp for 1 hour at 100°C.

Current Conditions : AC / DC (±)
