EutecTrode XHD 646 rod electrode

EutecTrode XHD 646

Rutile-basic coated high-performance rod electrode with 150% recovery. High-alloy, austenitic weld metal on a CrNiMn basis. Scale-resistant up to 900°C, corrosion-resistant, resistant to hot cracking and capable of cold working. High toughness and ductility.

Technical data
DIN EN 14700: E Fe10

Applications
For welding tough and expansion-compensating buffer layers before hardfacing, as well as for hardfacing on workpieces made of austenitic manganese steel and dissimilar joints. Furthermore, for joint welding and build-up welding of steels, e.g.:
steels with increased sulphur content, steels with high carbon content and cast steel, high-strength, alloyed and unalloyed tempering and tool steels, heat-resistant and cold-tough steels, CrNi and manganese steels as well as martensitic and ferritic Cr steels.

Processing instructions
Remove any cracked or damaged material. Clean the welding areas. Re-dry at 350 °C for 2 hours. Adjust the heat control when welding to the component, its material and dimensions. Keep the interpass temperature as low as possible. Weld austenitic manganese steels without preheating as cold as possible (≤ 300 °C).
