Amtec Railtec is a special build-up and underlay alloy, which is non-cracking and wear resistant, used on carbon steels up to .4 carbon content. This electrode is used as an economical build-up on surfaces subject to severe impact loads and metal to metal wear. The special coating produces a fast flowing weldmentwith a stable arc, free from spatter and an easily removable slag. Railtec provides perfect fusion with the base metal, and the beads are smooth and non-porous. The weld metal can be machined and forged.
