Basic coated high 14% Mn steel electrode for joining and surfacing to withstand severe impact and shock loading. Applications include crusher jaws, dressing plants in gravel, sand & ore dredging buckets, guides & rails.

Deposits work harden. Non-cracking, with long life under heavy impact. A ferrous base electrode with additions of nickel, manganese and other elements to improve welding properties. Use on alloy steel as a cushion for hard surfacing.

Clean weld area. Use Excel Gouge to remove damaged metal. Do not preheat manganese steel. Maintain a short to medium arc length. Direct on deposited weld metal, keeping bead length 75 to 100 mm at a time. Inter pass temperatures should be kept below 150°C by back-stepping & skip-welding. Cool slowly.

1. Current: AC/DC +     2. As deposited Hardness: 23 HRC      3. Work Hardened up to: 45 HRC
