Hardfacing electrodes Carver - 9580

Additional Details

PROCEDURE
For repairs, prepare area to be welded by removing all cracks, heat checks or other defects. Clean area of any slag, scale, rust or drawing compounds. Preheat die blocks and other units where the entire working surface is to be welded to 425 C. On other alloys preheat and post-heat according to the base metal. Maintain temperature during welding. Use the stringer bead technique. Peen the weld when forgeable to relieve stresses. After welding, cool in still air to 150 C to obtain the ultimate grain refinement and uniform hardness in the weld deposit. Post-heat at 550 C for one hour per inch of thickness. Cool in still air to room temperature.
