Rutile coated electrode used for hardfacing of parts, subjected compression, moderate impact, mechanical, thermal shocks and metal-to-metal friction wear. Especially designed for hardfacing of hot and cold cutting blades, rolling rollers and shear blades because weld metal has high tensile strength, toughness and heat resistance. Suitable for hardfacing of crusher rollers and hammers, crane wheels and pulleys. Has excellent welding properties, a stable and regular metal drop flow, good weld appearance very easy slag removal.
