GENERAL
A general purpose hardfacing electrode depositing a semi corrosion resistant martensitic steel with a
hardness of about 57 HRC. The electrode is specially suitable for hardfacing parts exposed to different forms
of abrasive and impact wear, e.g. farming equipment, forestry tools, loading machines and mixers. Additional
information is found under the heading "Other Data".

OTHER DATA
Welding:
Preheat and an interpass temperature of about 200 °C is recommended for most applications.
Weld metal hardness, typical:
As welded (no preheat, interpass temp. 250 °C):
1 pass on mild steel......52-59 HRC.
2 passes on mild steel...52-59 HRC.
3 passes on mild steel...53-59 HRC.
After tempering 1 hour:
°C...............HRC
100 .............55
200 .............55
300 .............52
400 .............50
500 .............54
600 .............46
700 .............31
Annealing and hardening:
Soft annealing is done at 840-860 °C. Rehardening by quenching from 950-1000 °C, in air or oil.
Machinability: grinding.
Redrying the electrodes: 200 °C, 2 hours.
