Surfacing & Hardfacing

HARDFACING ELECTRODE DEPOSITING WELD METAL HIGH IN CHROME CARBIDE PROVIDING EXCELLENT RESISTANCE TO ABRASION

HV-750


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The design emphasis of the flux is designed to ensure a slag solidification range that allows the chrome carbide particles to be evenly distributed within the austenitic alloy matric, so ensuring complete uniformity of hardness. The chemically basic flux contains the appropriate alloying elements and is bound with a blend of silicates that ensures both coating strength and resistance to moisture absorption

WELDING FEATURES OF THE ELECTRODE

The electrode welds with a smooth stable arc and easily strikes and re-strikes. Weld appearance is bright, almost of polished appearance, smoothly contoured and slag detachability is excellent. The ease of re-strike and slag characteristics allow the electrode to be used for special pattern welding, eg: lattice or button type procedures.

APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS TO BE WELDED

Suitable for surfacing a wide range of steels including 13Mn types. Because thermal contractional stresses will cause stress relieving cross-cracking, buildups should be limited to 3 layers, preferably two when restraint is high. The deposit has excellent resistance to abrasion against minerals, sand and sludges which leads to its extensive use in the earth moving, cement, dredging and steel industries. For build-ups on carbon and low alloy steels or 13Mn steel, NS-307 should be used as a buffer layer.

OTHER DATA

Electrodes that have become damp should be re-dried at 150ºC for 1 hour.
