Wire - Hardfacing PLATINUM SD-980 (Solid)
KEY FEATURES:
> Versatile "all rounder"
> Easy to use solid wire (use with gas)
> Good abrasion resistance
> Moderate-to-High impact resistance
> Especially suited when abrasion is accompanied by shocks and blows
> All-positional
> Available in 15kg and 4.5kg spools
APPLICATION INFO:
> Weld can handle abrasion, moderate-to-high impact and metal-to-metal wear
> Very suitable for all types of ground engaging equipment; excavator buckets and teeth, points, tynes, screws and augers, tipper bodies,
> Especially suited for components subject to abrasive wear AND impact (shocks & blows); crushing jaws/wheels, etc
> Also used for metal-to-metal applications such as: excavator tracks, pulleys (incl drag-line pulleys), etc
> Typical hardness 54-58 HRc / 535-600 HB
OPERATOR INFO:
> Use with Ar-CO2 mixed gas
> Polarity: DC+ (wire/torch positive, earth negative)
> Typical parameters: 120-270A (19-30V)
> Buffer layer: Not normally required. In case of hard-to-weld steels, use buffer layer of basic electrodes or flux-cored wire.
> Pre-Heat: Not normally required, unless to minimise relief-checking (micro cracking)
> Suitable for multi-layering (up to 3 layers)
WHAT ELSE ?
> Surface will normally relief-checks (forms fine cracks) after welding
> Weld deposit is NOT machineable
> Weld deposit IS grind-able
