Chromium-free hardfacing electrode for hardfacing of components exposed to abrasion by soil, sand and abrasives in agriculture, quarrying, mining and infrastructure. It gives a hard, wear-resistant weld metal similar to conventional chromium carbide coatings. It is specially formulated to remove chromium from the welding electrode, but still provides outstanding wear resistance. The absence of chromium in the electrode reduces or completely eliminates the release of potentially harmful CrIV gas during welding. It is recommended not to apply more than two passes. It has low impact resistance and should be used where non-impact wear is encountered.
Typical Applications: Mixer shafts, impellers, buckets, shovels, augers and crushers for the concrete industry.
