Hardsurfacing electrode maintains sharp edges

Select-Arc Inc. has introduced an iron-based, martensitic, high-molybdenum, high-speed tool steel alloy electrode for welding components that are required to maintain a sharp edge. SelectWear M7 offers hardness of HRC 60 to 65. The deposit is magnetic; it will not cross-check and is not readily machinable.

Available in 0.035, 0.045, 0.06215, 0.109, and 0.125 in. dia., the electrode is suitable for welding on hot and cold dies, shear blades, tire shredders, and cutting and shaving knives.
