SelectWear 423-S

Hardsurfacing / Submerged Arc / Flux Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Deposits a martensitic stainless steel alloy containing nickel and molybdenum designed for surfacing with the submerged arc process
  • The deposit has improved resistance to thermal fatigue and corrosion compared to a 420 alloy
  • A neutral flux should be used
  • Multiple layers can be deposited with proper welding procedure
  • Machinable with carbide tools
  • Will not cross crack
  • Applications include: Caster Rolls
