General Description

A basic coated electrode that produces a high speed steel deposit similar to M-1 tool steel

The deposited weld metal is air hardening

Designed for operator appeal and weld quality

Excellent arc characteristics, good restriking and low spatter

The electrode coating permits the use of the drag or contact welding technique.

Current type

AC/DC electr. +

Application

Elehard® 60-SZ produces a crack-free wear resistant tool steel deposit with a hardness of 58-62 HRc. This hardness can be further increased to between 63-65HRc after tempering 540-600°). It is particularly suitable for applications involving severe metal to metal wear coupled with elevated temperatures up to 540°C. Ideally suited to the buildup of worn steel dies, cutting tools or the application of wear resistant surfaces to carbon and low alloy steels.

Typical applications include:

 Punch and forging dies

Shear blades

Trimmers

Cutting tools
