NIKKO STEEL Kawat Las Pelapisan Keras

The design emphasis of the flux is designed to ensure a slag solidification range that allows the chrome carbide particles to be evenly distributed within the austenitic alloy matric, so ensuring complete uniformity of hardness. The balanced lime rutile flux contains the appropriate alloying elements and is bound with a blend of silicates that ensures both coating strength and resistance to moisture absorption.

The electrode welds with a smooth stable arc and easily strikes and re-strikes. Weld appearance is bright, almost of polished appearance, smoothly contoured and slag detachability is excellent. The metal recovery is some 170% with respect to core wire weights, thus reducing welding time. The weld deposits are non-machinable.

Suitable for surfacing a wide range of steels including 13Mn types. Because thermal contractional stresses will cause stress relieving cross-cracking, buildups should be limited to 3 layers, preferably two when restraint is high. The deposit has excellent resistance to abrasion against minerals, sand and sludges which leads to its extensive use in the earth moving, cement, dredging and steel industries. For build-ups on carbon and low alloy steels or 13Mn steel NS-307 should be used as a buffer layer

Electrodes that have become damp should be re-dried at 150ºC for 1 hour.
