MasterWeld HF600 Hardfacing Arc Welding Rods
MasterWeld HF600 is a hardfacing welding rod that is designed to deposit wear resistant overlays on all ferrous metals where high resistance to impact and abrasion is required.
The electrode is all positional with a metal recovery rate of 110%.
The welds are non-machinable in the as welded state but can be softened by heat treatment at 720 - 750°C.
After machining the welds can be re-hardened by oil or water quenching.
Applications include earth moving equipment, scraper blades, bucket lips and facings, farm implements and any application subject to impact and abrasion.
