SELECT-Arc has released two chromium carbide, metal-to-earth wear electrodes that can be utilized in hot wear applications up to 593 degrees Celsius.
SelectWear 60HC is designed to deposit an alloy composed of a high density of primary chromium carbides in an iron matrix. According to the company, this is an economical hard-surfacing alloy for high wear situations.
The deposit is said to have significant abrasion resistance with moderate resistance to impact. It stress relieves itself by cross cracking.
The 60HC can be used for grinding/pulverising rolls and table segments, wear plates, clad pipe, dredge pump shells and related components and hammers.
The 60PW is similar, but deposits an alloy composed of a higher density of primary chromium carbides and higher hardness than 60HC. This electrode is designed for the single and double pass overlay welding utilized in plate applications.
