Abrasocord 43 is a heavy coated, hard surfacing electrode depositing extremely hard, abrasion resistant Chromium/ Niobium carbides in an austenitic matrix. It is ideal for hard surfacing applications where resistance to extreme abrasion (in particular sliding abrasion) and moderate to heavy impact are required. Due to the nodular shape of the complex carbides, Abrasocord 43 deposits are capable of withstanding heavier impact levels than standard chromium carbide grades. Typical applications include bucket teeth/lips, grizzlies, press screws, crusher hammers and ripper teeth to name but a few. FEATURES Hardness The Abrasocord 43 welding elelctrode produces a typical hardness of 60-65 HRc with a single layer. Wear Properties The Abrasocord 43 provides resistance to extreme abrasion (in particular sliding abrasion) and moderate to heavy impact.
