Classification:

• DIN 8555: E1-UM-400

Characteristics:

A medium heavy coated, air hardening, rutile type electrode designed for overlaying hard surfaces on mild steel and low alloy carbon steel. The weld deposit is of non-machinable type and provides excellent resistance to abrasion along with toughness. It is recommended to use RATNA 7016 as a buffer layer when working on hard base materials.

Applications:

• Couplings.
• Brake shoes, cams, gears, cogwheels, crawler parts, shafts, plough shears.
• Blades and components requiring abrasion resistance coupled with toughness.

Re-Dry Condition:

Re-dry the electrode at 120°C for 30–60 minutes before use for best results.
