Additional information

All work-hardened base material and previously deposited hardfacing material should be removed prior to applying a new deposit, since such areas are prone to embrittlement and possible cracking. Areas that contain irregularaties such as cracks and deep gouges can be repaired locally using Elehard® 30-GР or Elehard® 250-КР prior to hardfacing with Elehard® 55-RZ.

Preheat would be needed if the welding is done over either highly restrained material or martensitic stainless base metal.

Preheat would be needed if the welding is done over either highly restrained material or A preheat and interpass temperature in the range of 200-300°C can be used depending on the nature of the material to be welded.

Under conditions of low dilution, the microstructure is similar to that of AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel. This structure provides good abrasion resistance under conditions of severe corrosion and high impact. At higher dilutions, when overlaid on mild steel or low alloy steel, the weld metal microstructure will retain it’s martensitic stainless structure. But the reduced chromium level might adversely affect the corrosion resistance of the deposit.
