Thick basic-covered electrode for hardfacing of parts especially subjected to metal-to-metal wear, heavy impact and shock. Electrode deposits weld metal with medium hardness, which can be machined by chip-forming. Can easily be welded in all positions, except vertical-down. Weld metal is high crack resistant and free of pores. DC, electrode in positive (+) is preferred and possible to use also in AC.
Typical Applications: Suitable for reconditioning of rails, rail crossings, switch points, sprockets and wearing parts, such as rope pulleys, tumblers, rollers, caterpillar track rollers and links, wheel flanges, stud links and others.
