WEARtig XD FeW60 is a TIG rod for GTAW or oxy-fuel welding, with tungsten carbides in an iron matrix and excellent resistance to extreme mineral abrasion. The matrix hardness is 60 HRC and the carbide hardness 2500 HV.
TIG gives you full control over the heat input, and you feed the filler into the pool by hand. The rod rebuilds shafts, rollers, screws, blades and surfaces working under abrasion. Previously sold as UTP A 7560.
- Classification EN ISO: 14700 T Fe 20
- Shielding gas: I1
- Diameters: 3.5 / 4.0 / 6.0 mm
Remove the fatigued and hardened surface layer before you build up, a deposit laid on worn material will flake off. 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. Match the diameter to the material thickness and the welding position, thinner rods are easier to control out of position.
