Description

• Application: Designed for high-speed welding of difficult-to-weld, galvanized, or dissimilar steels. Suitable for rebuilding and buttering layers before wear facing.
• Performance: High efficiency alloyed electrode with high tensile strength and crack resistance. Suitable for galvanized steels where zinc fumes are minimized while preserving the anti-corrosion properties of the zinc layer.
• Weld Yield: 170%
• Deposition Rate: High
• Weld Surface Finish: Remarkable with very easy slag removal.

Applications

• Primary Applications:
  • Maximum safety margin repairs of cracks in castings, machine housings, frames, chassis, springs, etc.
  • Joining dissimilar or unknown grades of steel.
• Secondary Applications:
  • Machinable build-up and overlays to resist wear by friction, impact, or pressure on gears, shafts, bearings, etc.
  • Cushion layer for E+C TeroCote alloys.
