HardfacingHardfacing is gaining more and more importance in the most varied fields of modern engineering. In the case of wear, corrosion and other types of surface attack, the application of hardfacing permits the economical reconditioning of many structural members. Reconditioning may comprise work pieces subjected to metal-to-metal wear. Such as rollers, crane wheels, shafts, rails or which are subjected to metal-to-mineral wear, like building machinery, conveyor screws, excavator bucket edges, etc. The possibilities of hardfacing not only lie in the field of reconditioning, but more and also in the manufacture of new tools and components. In this manufacturing process, a non-alloyed or low- alloy steel is used as carrier material to which are imparted special properties by welding on a suitable high quality weld metal. Decisive factor in hardfacing is the knowledge of the wear conditions, that is, whether it is a frictional wear caused by metal or minerals, corrosion, cavitation, erosion or temperature. The selection of the welding consumable to be used will depend on these conditions. Besides this, it is most important to know the composition of the base metal to be surfaced, because of the measures likely to be taken, such as preheating and/or post weld treatment. Depending on the use of the workpiece to be hardfaced, the weld metal shall meet the most varied demands. These can be cited as follows:
In some cases, more than one of these modes of load may occur simultaneously, so that the weld metal must posses the respective properties. Hence, a conscientious selection of the proper weld metal will be a must. Of course, there doesn’t exist a weld metal possessing all these properties in full measure. Nevertheless, in most cases it will be possible to find a satisfactory compromise in practice. Hardfacing Tools The sequence of operations is as follows:
For the solution of the many cladding and hardfacing problems, D/F offers a complete line of welding Torches & consumables for flux cored wire electrodes, solid wire electrodes, gas metal arc welding and submerged arc welding fluxes. |

The Open-Arc Water-Cooled Gasless Overlay Cladding Machine Torch is recommended for mechanized cladding applications where production demands the maximum durability and quality for multi-surfacing and rebuilding applications. This hardfacing torch is designed to last for years and is ideal for single-head machines or multiple-head machines used with hardfacing applications in up to 900 degree preheat like with the Welding Alloys Multi Surfacer: custom designed automated welding equipment. They feature dual replaceable Water Out & Power Cables to add to the durability and long life of the barrel assemblies. The Open-Arc Torch/Machine Barrel is primarily for hard/cored, metal-cored, & flux-cored wire diameters 7/64" & 1/8" (2.8mm & 3.2mm). The Open-Arc Machine Barrel offers a design that accommodates both slip-in, contact tips with a collet, and CrZr (chromium zirconium) heavy duty threaded current tips with a tip adapter nut. The suggested current level would be approximately 750 amperes (depending on application). Direct mounting is accomplished by utilizing interconnections to the welding head or wire drive.
