Hardsurfacing / Submerged Arc / Flux Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Designed for surfacing with the submerged arc process. It has higher carbon and chromium compared with standard 420-S for added wear resistance. It can be used on the lower segments of continous casters as well as other roll applications. Neutral flux should be used.
  • Applications: Predominantly caster rolls
