Special electrode for anti -wear surfacing on steels, cast steels, subjected to wear by abrasion, pressure & moderate impact. Application includes Industrial knives, press tools, sheet metal cutters, Tool steel.

Good compressive strength and superior weldability. Frigid arc coating of this low Amp “Excel Gouge” aids in producing a fast deposition rate. For use where a combination of hardness and toughness is desired on carbon and alloy steels, manganese steel and cast iron. For frictional and abrasive applications.

Clean metal surfaces. Use ”Excel Gouge” to remove damaged metal. A slight preheat is recommended for alloy steels and cast iron. Use either AC or DC reverse polarity. Use modified to wide weaving technique. Remove slag after every pass.

1. Current: AC/DC +                2. Hardness: 58 – 61 HRC
