Description and

HARDFACING ARC 33 is a hard surfacing electrode that deposists very hard chromium carbides inan austenitic matrix. It is suitable for a wide range of surfacing applications where resistance to heavy abrasion and impact are required. The high chromium content (33%) make these electrodes deposits resistant to sea water corrosion an oxidation / spalling at elevated temperature up to 900C. Typical applications are in the earth moving and mining industries and include surfacing quarry screen plates, screen butt straps, chutes and shovel teeth / lips.

Deposit Properties

HARDFACING ARC 33 deposit are non-machinable, grindable, non-heat treatable and prone to relief checking. The high chromium carbide, iron deposit is ideal for all types of abrasion under high impact loading. For maximum wear resistance two layers may be required.
