Electrode suitable for hardfacing applications

Select-Arc Inc. has introduced a martensitic alloy electrode for general welding maintenance. SelectWear 58 is a metal-to-earth wear welding wire that can be put down in multiple layers without cracking, says the company. It is offered in gas-shielded and open-arc versions, combining high hardness with abrasion and impact resistance.

Available in diameters from 0.035 to 1/8 in., the electrode is suitable for hardsurfacing applications such as debarking knives, agricultural tillage tools, chisel plows, dredge components, earthmoving bucket lips, and pipe hardbanding.
