Basic type heavy coated hardfacing electrode with 180% metal recovery. Weld metal deposit is composed of primary and eutectic Cr and Nb carbides in austenitic matrix. Suitable for hardfacing of parts subjected to heavy abrasion with moderate impact or shocks. Wear coefficient of 3 layers deposit with SiO2, is 1%. The weld metal is machinable only by grinding. Suitable to use in hardfacing of wear plates in quarry equipment, hammers of gyratory crushers, hammers for refractory materials, clay and basalt, wire guides, meshing gears for trefoil mixers, bucket lips and teeths in earth moving equipments. Possible to use with DC, electrode in positive (+) pole and with AC.
