Hardfacing Electrodes

DuroArc MnCr

The DUROARC MnCr is ideal for rebuilding and joining austenitic steels and manganese steels to other steel combinations. Impact resistant electrode for joining and surfacing steels.

Deposits highly machinable alloy weld metal and designed for joining and overlaying Manganese and carbon steel parts. High alloy deposits are very tough and will endure extreme impact and abrasion conditions.

Hardness: 16-18 Rc
Work Hardens: 48 Rc

SIZES 3.2mm, 4.0mm 4.54kg

DuroArc 43X

Complex Chromium Carbide hardfacing electrode. DUROARC 43X is a high hardness product offering similar abrasion resistance to Tungsten carbide electrodes at 1/3 the cost.

It is a complex matrix and includes Chromium and Niobium Carbides which offers the ultimate combination of abrasion resistance and high temperature hardness retention.

Hardness: 64-68 Rc

SIZES 3.2mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm 4.54kg

DuroArc 27

A build-up electrode in the machinable range of hardness providing wear resistance that is far superior to low and medium carbon steel and low alloy steels.

Deposits are extremely tough and have a high resistance to impact and deformation and are not subject to spalling or roll-over. In addition, deposits are dense, crack-free and porosity-free.

Hardness 31 Rc

SIZES 3.2mm, 4.0mm 4.54kg

General high hardness hardfacing electrode. A “selfhardening” wear resistant overlay engineered for abrasion and abrasion combined with medium impact.

The alloy chemistry provides good resistance to spalling and chipping while the special low hydrogen coating minimises dilution and helps to eliminate underbead cracking. Use on carbon and low alloy steels.

It can be used out-of-position and can be used with all types of AC or DC equipment.

Hardness: 56-58 Rc

SIZES 3.2mm, 4.0mm, 4.54kg

DuroArc 21

DuroArc 214

A high chromium carbide hardfacing electrode for high abrasion and mild impact applications. Deposits take on a high polish, producing excellent frictional and sliding abrasion resistance.

Use on carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels and cast iron.

Heat and Corrosion Resistant - Corrosion resistance is equal to straight chromium steels and it retains it’s hardness up to 1000°F (538°C).

DUROARC 214 offers good out-of-position welding characteristics on either AC or DC. Fast deposition rate and easy slag removal. It produces minimum dilution for high first past hardness and deposits are extremely smooth - almost ripple free.

Hardness: 58-62 Rc

SIZES 3.2mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm 4.54kg

Postalloy 219HD

When protection with tungsten carbide is needed, POSTALLOY® 219HD is an ideal choice.

Weld deposits contain tungsten carbide in a chromium rich matrix for added wear and corrosion protection.

Other features include:

  • Easy out-of-position weldability with the 1/4” diameter.

  • Excellent AC or DC operation, even on a “buzz box”.

  • Low amperage and high metal recovery - no slag to chip.

  • High deposition rates - up to 3 times faster than ordinary electrodes.

  • Moisture resistant coating, even under severe weather or high humidity.

Hardness: 64-68 Rc

SIZES 3.2mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm 4.54kg
