A coated tubular electrode with vanadium carbides in a tough matrix. The unique feature of vanadium carbide is that it will dissolve during welding and will reform upon solidification. Deposit contains vanadium carbide, which is close to the wear resistance of tungsten carbide. Ideal for components subject to extreme earth abrasion.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:
Scrapping, cutting, digging and handling of highly abrasive earth-like materials. Examples are: dredge cutter blades, augers, conveyor flights, scraper blades and tool joints.
