HARDFACING ARC 33 is a hard surfacing electrode that deposits very hard chromium carbides in an austenitic matrix. It is suitable for a wide range of surfacing applications where resistance to heavy abrasion and impact are required. The high chromium content (33%) make these electrode deposits resistant to seawater corrosion and oxidation or spalling at elevated temperature up to 900˚C. Typical applications are in the earth-moving and mining industries and include surfacing quarry screen plates, screen butt straps, chutes, and shovel teeth or lips.

• Hard, Wear Resistant Chromium Carbide Iron Deposit
• For Hard Surfacing Components Subject To Severe Abrasion And Heavy Impact

Deposit Properties:

HARDFACING ARC 33 deposits are non-machinable, grindable, non-heat-treatable, and prone to relief checking. The high chromium carbide, the iron deposit is ideal for all types of abrasion under high impact loading. For maximum wear resistance, two layers may be required.

Operational and Packaging Data:

• Electrode size: 3.2mm and 4.0mm.
• Electrode length: 350mm and 400mm.
• Electrode packaging: 5kg and 20kg.

*Recommended for DC+ or AC (minimum 70 OCV) operation.
