Certanium® 706 Multi-Purpose Hardfacing Buildup Stick Rod Electrode

Alloys for repairs and buildup prior to overlaying with more abrasion-resistant hardfacing.
Superior Advantages
• Versatile – easy to use on all steels
• Resists cracking
• Increased deposition rates save time and money
• Work hardens under impact
Buildup for hardfacing, joining manganese, carbon steels and stainless steels
Tensile Strength: 101,000 PSI
Elongation: 34%
Hardness: Rc 45, work-hardened
Polarity: AC or DC Reverse
Typical Applications
• Shaft buildup
• Equipment part repairs – gears, booms, crusher rolls and hammers
• Welding alloy steel to manganese steel
• Frogs and switch points
Usage Procedure
Use AC or DC reverse polarity. Electrode may be used in contact or by holding an arc. When used for joining, stringer beads are best. When used as a build-up, weaving is acceptable. Manganese steel should be kept below 550°F (288°C) by skip welding or artificial cooling. Prior to build-up, all fatigued, cracked, or spalled material should be removed. Chip slag between passes.
