HARDFACING ARC 43 is a heavy coated, hard surfacing electrode depositing extremely hard, abrasion-resistant Chromium/Niobium carbides in an austenitic matrix. It is ideal for hard surfacing applications where resistance to extreme abrasion (in particular sliding abrasion) and moderate to heavy impact are required. Due to the modular shape of the complex carbides, HARDFACING ARC 43 deposits are capable of withstanding heavier impact levels than standard chromium carbide grades. Typical applications include bucket teeth/lips, grizzlies, press screws, crusher hammers, and ripper’s teeth to name a few.

• Tough, Wear Resistant Complex Carbide Type Deposit.
• For Hard Surfacing Components Subjected to Extreme Abrasion and Moderate to Heavy Impact.

Deposit Properties:

HARDFACING ARC 43 deposits are non-machinable, grindable, prone to fine relief checking, and should be restricted to 3 layers high. While two layers of HARDFACING ARC 43 may be required for maximum wear resistance, this complex carbide alloy has lower dilution sensitivity than straight chromium carbide deposits.

Operational and Packaging Data:

• Electrode size: 3.2mm and 4.0mm.
• Electrode length: 350mm and 400mm.
