Hardfacing Electrodes
ES 60 GR / EN 14700: E Fe 15
Description
ES 60 Z It is a basic coated electrode that is highly resistant to abrassion wear caused by fine or coarse hard minerals. Concentrated Cr and Nb carbides have been finely dispersed in its structure. In corrosive environments, it gives a better resistance to wear caused by fine minerals than hard faced structures having an ordinary chromium carbide structure.

Applications
Wear plates, dredgers, rock crushers, grinding hammers and rollers can be hard faced with it. It should be used for more than three passes. In applications requiring a thick deposit metal, E 307-15 or E 312-16 should be used for buffering. It is crucial to have a buffer layer with E 307-15 for % 12-14 Mn containing steels before hard facing applications.
