Description
HF-500 Electrode
MARUTHI HF-500 is a basic coated electrode. Wear resistant weld metal & has a high toughness value & exhibits a high resistance to cracking at operating conditions with high impact. Highest wear resistance is obtained after three passes.10% Cr content increases the wear resistance of the weld metal to the simpler forms of corrosive attacks. Weld metal is resistant to softening up to 500 ̊Can be machined by grinding.
Applications
MARUTHI HF-500 is commonly used for hardfacing alloyed and unalloyed steels. It is suitable for hardfacing worn surfaces of crushing tools used in the mining industry, conveyor screws, excavator and bulldozer blades, mixer parts, cement pump screws, and cutting edges of cold-worked tool steel.
