Amtec 63 Chromium Carbide

Amtec 63 is a high speed chromium carbide hardsurfacing alloy with 31% chrome content, and an alloyed core wire that has unmatched abrasive wear resistance on both heavy and light parts. The special metallic coating provides excellent welding performance, which permits obtaining a smooth surface. Despite high hardness, the deposit retains its toughness and wide weaving to 3 times the electrode size may be used without cracking. The deposit is machinable only by grinding. This electrode has tremendous edge control, and may be used on edges as thin a 1⁄2 inch without burn off. The high chromium content makesthe weld deposits maintain their resistance to wear even at elevated temperatures.
