Hardfacing Electrodes
ES 200 KA A5.13: E FeMn-A / EN 14700: EZ Fe 9
Description
ES 200 KA is a high-recovery, austenitic-manganese steel electrode containing nickel. It produces a crack-resistant weld metal, which work-hardens under compressive stresses. It is intended for surfacing and building up Mn-steel components exposed to severe impact and moderate abrasion. Typical applications include crusher plates and rolls, bulldozer teeth, cones and mantels of rotary crushers, dredger buckets, rail crossings and so on. The interpass temperature should be kept as low as possible. It has about % 165 metal recovery. Re-drying is 300°C min. 2 h.

Typical Mechanical Properties
| Yeild Strength | Tensile Strength | Elongation 5x D | Impact (ISO-V) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 440 N / mm² | 690 N / mm² | % 30 | -20 °C – 80 j -60 °C – 45 j |
Applications
It is used for the surfacing and reclamation of austenitic %12 - 14 Mn steels and joining of these to mild or medium carbon steels. Teeth used for mineral handling, cone, roll and law crushers, crushing and grinding hammers, screens and grid bars and parts exposing to impact can be hard surfaced . Especially on % 12-14 Mn steels, it is important to use this electrode before using chromium carbide structured hard facing electrodes to form a buffer layer as it enables a healthy joining of the subsequent hard face to the base metal.
