GB T984EDMn-A-16

▎Applications and Features

  • Weld metal remains a stable austenite structure even with air or water cooling after welding.
  • It provides good resistance to abrasion accompanied by heavy impact and good toughness. However, it is not resistant to abrasive wear.
  • It is suitable for repairing constructions, mining, railroads and steel mills.
  • It is ideal for melt-in fusion and welding of high manganese steel.

▎Welding Instruction

  • Dry the electrodes at 300-350°C for 30-60 minutes before use.
  • Take skip welding method to prevent the embrittlement because the local overheat (above 260°C) causes the carbides to precipitate. The weld bead should not exceed 20mm (W) ×
    5mm (T) × 100mm (L).
  • The old hardfacing layer should be gouged first. Cracks are beveled by carbon cutting electrode and repaired by KS-309 before welding with KH-13M.

▎Applications

It is ideal for melt-in fusion and welding of high manganese steel.
