WEARtig Dur 600 is a TIG rod for wear resistant weld overlays that have to withstand impact and abrasion. The weld metal hardness is approximately 58 HRC.
You feed the filler into the pool by hand while the arc burns between the tungsten electrode and the weld. The rod is meant for hardfacing surfaces exposed to abrasion and it suits deposits that need a smooth, even face. Previously sold as UTP A Dur 600.
- Classification EN ISO: 14700 S Fe8
- Shielding gas: I1
Lay the overlay in overlapping beads and watch the part temperature, an overheated component will distort and crack where the layers meet. Grind the tungsten tip along its axis and hold a short arc, otherwise the pool spreads. Protect the root when you weld from one side, an oxidised underside spoils the corrosion resistance. The gas choice shapes the bead face and the amount of spatter, so stay with the mixture given in the classification.
