Thick basic-covered electrode for producing build-up, buffer and hardfacing deposits of medium hardness, which can be machined by chip-forming. Particularly suited for build-up, buffer and hardfacing of wear resisting parts subjected to metal-to-metal wear, heavy impact and shock. 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.
