HARDFACING TC is an exceptionally smooth running, AC/DC electrode depositing air hardening, high-speed tool steel metal. The C-Cr-Mo deposit combines toughness and wears resistance with full hardness being retained at temperatures between 500˚C and 600˚C.

• Hard, Shock Resistant Cr-Mo Deposit
• Ideal for Surfacing and Repairing High-Speed Tool Steels

It is used in a wide range of applications involving the repair and manufacture of punches, dies, shear blades, lathe tools, forming rolls and cutting edges, etc. When welding on hardened tools steel preheat and stringer beads are recommended.

Deposit Properties:

The hard tough HARDFACING TC welding deposit may be annealed by soaking at 800˚C and then the furnace cooled. To re-harden the deposit, heat slowly to 850˚C and then quickly to 1250˚C, soak for 15 minutes and quench in oil or an air blast if the component is small. To develop full hardness, temper at 520˚C for a one-hour period.

Operational and Packaging Data:

• Electrode size: 2.5mm and 3.2mm.
• Electrode length: 300mm and 350mm.
• Electrode packaging: 5kg and 20kg.

*Recommended for DC+ or AC (minimum 45 OCV) operation.
