Description:
Weldite F is an excellent general purpose hardfacing electrode.. Best for parts subject to impact and abrasion. It can be used in a variety of industries such as mining, logging, etc. It is often used to be applied to mild steel, manganese steel and carbon steel. It can be applied AC or DC with either straight or reverse polarity, straight polarity gives maximum density. It has an excellent abrasion resistance, and moderate compressive strengths and impact resistance. Weldite F has surface checks, and is forgeable at red heat. It is magnetic on carbon steel. Contains, carbon, manganese, molybdenum, nickel and chromium.
