For Hard-Facing, Wear-facing or Overlay Applications

LoTherme-605 is a hard surfacing electrode, operates well in all conventional positions. The deposited weld metal has exceptional abrasion wear resistance in combination with resistance to impact & mild corrosion. Evenly rippled, porosity free weld deposits permit heavy build-up without danger of cracking. In most cases, it can be used direct on the job without the necessity of depositing buffer layers.

LoTherme-605 core wire and flux formulation are so chosen as to make the electrode versatile in terms of surfacing applications on a large variety of machine parts, equipment, etc. Typical applications include surfacing Sugar Mill cane cutting knives, shredder & fibrizer hammers, anvil, chipper knives, conveyor bucket lips, shear blades, shovels dredger and elevator bucket lips rock crushers, rock drills, tractor grousers and paddlers. In crushing applications, it is recommended as the final layer on 14% manganese weld deposit to reduce the initial wear.

55 - 60 RC

Ensure that the electrodes are perfectly dry before use. In case of moisture pick-up, re-dry the electrodes at 200°C for one hour before use. Clean the weld area free of any surface contamination. Hold a short arc length and weld with stringer beads.
