REASON FOR ISSUE
New product. Changed name from OK 84.84.
GENERAL
A hardfacing electrode depositing a weld metal with a high volume fraction of fine carbides in a martensitic
matrix. It is designed for protection of parts subjected to severe abrasion from rock, sand, cement, etc.
Applications: Earth-drilling equipment. Hammers, scrapers, knives, conveyor screws,etc.

OTHER DATA
beneficial. Stringer beads recommended. Use medium arc length. Keep electrode perpendicular to work
piece. Optimum hardness is obtained already in the first layer due to low dilution of underlaying material.
Typical hardness, HRC (As welded on mild steel, no preheat.)
1 layer ........62
2 layers ........62
Machinability: Grinding only.
Redrying: 200 °C, 2h.
