FusoFlex

Chromang:

Smooth & stable arc.
Easy striking & restriking, despite heavy sleeve formation which in fact protects the alloying elements being transferred from coating to weld pool.
Well rippled weld beads of regular profile & good appearance.
Easy deslagging.
Ease of operation on Ac and DC (+).
Work-hardening from 200 BHN as desposited, to 500 BHN approx. under impact in service.

Identification:Name Printed

Applications:

Weld metal is semi-austenitic and displays resistance to wear, heat & corrosion. Its work-hardening property combined with toughness renders the weld metal suitable for buffer layers as well as build-up on a variety of steel components subject to wear by impact and abrasion, in combination with harder deposit to provide initial hard surface to minimise wear.
Reclamation in steel plant, machinery, including ingot lifting tongs, and in mining machinery
Cement mill machinery parts, crusher hammers, crusher jaws, dipper teeth conveyor buckets.

Redry for 30-60 minutes at 250°-300° C.
Avoid use of excessive currents or heat input.
As the core wire is of unalloyed low carbon steel, and all alloys are present in coating, ensure that the coating is intact at the time of striking the arc, and that both wire & flux coating fuse uniformly and thereby yield the alloy levels expected.
Weld on clean & sound base material.
Employing CHROMANG for buffer layers or for major part of build-up, final layers may be made with one of the numerous types available, such as MANGWELD, HARDNELL-600LH, CARBCHROME-60, depending on the nature of wear caused by service conditions.
