Composition and properties depend upon dilution. Single layer deposit properties depend upon base metal and/or build-up material. (2)Preferred polarity is listed first.

NOTE: The deposit is not machinable or forgeable. Cooling rate does not significantly influence abrasion resistance. Deposit will usually cross check.

If more than two-layer build-up is required, use Wearshield® 15CrMn (preferred), Wearshield® BU or Wearshield® BU30 for the preliminary layer or layers under Wearshield® 60. On manganese steel, use Wearshield® Mangjet® or Wearshield® 15CrMn as build-up. Preheat is not generally
necessary except to be sure that work is in room temperature range 25° - 45ºC (75° - 100ºF). However, preheat of 120° - 200ºC (250° - 400ºF) may be necessary to prevent heat affected zone cracking on high carbon steel or low alloy steel base metals. If more than two layers must be
used, or if cross checks must be eliminated, preheat to 650ºC (1200ºF).

••Limiting the temperature 260ºC (500ºF) at distances of 13 mm (1/2 in) away from the weld.
Prolonged or repeated heating of manganese steel base metal over 260ºC (500ºF) can cause embrittlement and spalling. Avoid base metal embrittlement by:

••Minimizing the time at elevated temperatures.


The correct welding technique is a vertical electrode with a 3.2 - 4.8 mm (1/8 - 3/16 in) arc length. The large ball on the end of the electrode should never touch the puddle. This technique will give a smooth transfer, low spatter and smooth bead.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous to your health.


• Fumes from the normal use of this product contain significant quantities of potentially hazardous compounds. See consumable product label/insert.
• Keep your head out of the fumes.
• Use enough ventilation and local exhaust to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area.
• An approved respirator should be used unless exposure assessments are below applicable exposure limits.

TE S T R E S U L TS
Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and diffusible hydrogen levels were obtained from a weld produced and tested
according to prescribed standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary
depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods.
Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in
the intended application.
