A thick rutile-covered electrode for depositing tough and wear resisting hard facing overlays. The weld metal has sufficient red hardness up to +600°C. It is machinable only by grinding. In case of crack sensitive base metals, a tough buffer layer made by ESB44 or EI309 electrodes is required and a further one after every third hard facing layer. The as-welded hardness of 59 HRc can be increased to 60-65 HRc by single or double tempering. Suitable hard facing applications where wear resistance at higher temperatures is a prime concern, as in hot cut offs, dies for pressure castings, rolls, crushers and others. Possible to use equally well both with AC and DC.
