Product description

Basic electrode depositing a steel highly resistant to impact and metallic abrasion for hardfacing hot-worked steels.

This electrode is used for repairing and hardfacing machine parts subjected to the combined action of impact, wear and compression up to temperatures of 550°C: valves, hot-cutting tools, extrusion pistons, dies, anvils…
