AWS A5.13/AME A5.13 ECoCr-C HARDFACING ELECTRODE

Short Description:


Product Detail

Product Tags

DESCRIPTION:

COBALTHARD 1FC covered electrode is the highest hardness standard alloy in the group of cobalt alloys used for elevated temperature abrasive wear associated with corrosion. Deposits of this alloy have a large volume of chromium carbides that impact outstanding abrasive wear resistance. The addition of tungsten enhances high temperature hardness and matrix toughness for excellent adhesive and solid particle erosion wear resistance. It bonds well with all steels, including stainless.

APPLICATIONS:

Hard surfacing of valve heads, seal rings of high pressure pump and parts of crushers.

HARDNESS OF WELD METAL DEPOSIT : 50 – 56 HRC (520- 620 Hv)

TYPICAL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF WELD METAL (%):

C Si Mn Cr W Co
2.15 0.47 1.03 31.25 12.72 Bal

WELDING POSITION: FLAT, VERTICAL UP, OVERHEAD

 SIZES AVAILABLE AND RECOMMENDED CURRENTS ( DC + ):

Size (dia. mm) 3.2 4.0 5.0
Length (mm) 350 350 350
Current Range (Amp) 90 – 120 110 – 150 140 – 180

NOTES ON USAGE:

Preheat at 300ºC and over in general.

Use PHILARC temperature indicating sticks or PHILARC interpass temperature gauge to determine if proper temperature is achieve before welding.

It is effective to postheat at 600ºC and to slow cool after welding to prevent cracking.

Dry the electrodes at 150-200ºC for 30 – 60 minutes before use. Use PHILARC portable drying ovens.
