Selectarc HB13MnB

This highly resistant impact electrode is a basic coated electrode, primarily used for repairing pieces subjected to high impact forces. It’s frequently employed for repairing defects in foundries and acting as a cushion layer before hardfacing, particularly in heavy reclaiming applications. The resulting deposit is austenitic and exhibits exceptional resistance to impact, wear, and impact combined. Due to its specialized basic coating, this electrode performs particularly well in deep grooves and holes. It’s a versatile option for demanding applications, offering robust protection against wear and tear.

Ideal for repairing worn or damaged components, providing a durable protective layer in challenging environments. Commonly used in railway applications (rails, switches, crossings, tongues) within quarries and mines (crusher jaws, excavator and grab teeth, mill hammers, rock crushers) to extend equipment lifespan and enhance operational performance. Its ability to weld in deep grooves and holes makes it suitable for complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas.
