Description: AFM Chrom-carb is a chromium-tungsten flux-coated hardsurfacing electrode designed to produce extremely hard weld metal deposits on parts exposed to severe mineral abrasion with low impact. The extreme hardness of AFM Chrom-carb deposits is achieved through the formation of chromium and tungsten carbides within the matrix of the weld deposit.
Applications: Typical applications include earth moving and rock crushing equipment, augers, asphalt feed screws, sand pumps, mixer blades and crushing or pulverizing mills.
Procedures: Maintain a short arc length and hold the electrode vertical to the workpiece. AFM Chrom-carb can be used on both AC or DC machines. Excellent for hardfacing large surface areas using wide weave beads. AFM Chrom-carb has good operator appeal and yields a very smooth weld bead with superb adherence. Deposition is fast and the weld deposits will last a long time.
