Description
Weld Star – HF 600 Solid Hardfacing Wire (1.0mm) 15kg
The Weld Star – HF 600 is a copper-coated high alloy solid wire designed specifically for hardfacing C-Mn steels. It produces a martensitic weld metal with a hardness range of 54-60 HRC, ensuring high abrasion resistance. The precision layer winding ensures superior wire feeding, making it ideal for various applications.
- The weld metal has a Cr-Si structure, making it challenging to machine without grinding.
- It’s best suited for semiautomatic and automatic welding procedures.
- When working with hard-to-weld steels, a buffer layer is essential to ensure proper adhesion and performance.
- Ensure the welding area is thoroughly cleaned before starting the welding process for optimal results.
Key Features:
- Copper Coating: Enhances the wire’s conductivity and ensures smooth feeding through welding equipment.
- High Hardness: The martensitic weld metal has a hardness of 54-60 HRC, providing excellent abrasion resistance.
- Precision Layer Wound: Ensures consistent and superior wire feeding during the welding process.
Typical Applications:
- Hardfacing & Overlay: Suitable for all C-Mn steels, providing a protective layer against wear and abrasion.
- Heavy Machinery: Used on excavators in the mining industry.
- Industrial Equipment: Ideal for cylinder crushers, pneumatic hammers, knives, cutting tools, crumbling jaws, anvils, caterpillars, screws, guide rollers, and more.
