About BOR-A(R) Hardfacing Electrodes
BOR-A(R) Hardfacing Electrodes are the specially designed electrode for surfacing applications where resistance to corrosion, oxidation, erosion, severe abrasion with mild impact specially at elevated temperature is important. The weld deposit retains hardness upto 550AAC and resists scaling up to 1000AAC. BOR-A(R) Hardfacing Electrodes have gained us increasing applaud and demands form our customers.
Superior Hardfacing PerformanceBOR-A(R) Hardfacing Electrodes offer an exceptional blend of hardness and impact toughness, making them ideal for applications where resistance to wear and mechanical stress is critical. The advanced alloy composition and high-quality heavy rutile coating ensure consistent results even under demanding conditions, providing a robust solution for reclaiming and reinforcing industrial components.
Versatile Application RangeThese electrodes are tailored for reclaiming, rebuilding, and hardfacing machine parts exposed to severe abrasion and impact-such as excavator teeth, crushers, plough shares, and agricultural tools. Their reliable performance extends the operational lifespan of equipment, effectively reducing maintenance costs and downtime for users in sectors including mining, earthmoving, and agriculture.
FAQ's of BOR-A(R) Hardfacing Electrodes:
Q: How should BOR-A(R) Hardfacing Electrodes be stored to maintain their shelf life?
A: To ensure the maximum 12-month shelf life, BOR-A(R) electrodes must be kept in a dry, moisture-free environment. Storing them in their original, sealed packaging and avoiding exposure to humidity will prevent flux deterioration and maintain weld quality.
Q: What is the recommended welding process when using BOR-A(R) Electrodes?
A: BOR-A(R) electrodes can be used with either AC or DC (+) welding currents and require an operating voltage between 70 and 85 volts (OCV). For optimal results, use the correct electrode diameter for your application and operate within the recommended temperature range up to 1400C.
Q: When is it beneficial to use BOR-A(R) Hardfacing Electrodes?
A: Use these electrodes whenever machine parts experience rapid wear or impact damage, especially in industries such as mining, agriculture, and earthmoving. They are designed to reclaim and extend the life of components like excavator teeth, crushers, and agricultural implements.
Q: Where can BOR-A(R) Hardfacing Electrodes be applied effectively?
A: BOR-A(R) electrodes excel in hardfacing and rebuilding worn surfaces of equipment subjected to abrasive or impact environments. Common applications include repairing earthmoving machinery, mining tools, crusher parts, and plough blades.
Q: What benefits do BOR-A(R) Electrodes provide over standard hardfacing options?
A: With a high impact toughness and as-welded hardness of 55-60 HRC, these electrodes ensure long-lasting wear resistance while retaining sufficient ductility to handle mechanical stress. Their stable arc, smooth bead formation, and easy slag removal enhance weld quality and productivity.
Q: How easy is the slag removal and finish using BOR-A(R) Electrodes?
A: BOR-A(R) Electrodes feature a high rutile type flux that promotes easy, self-releasing slag and results in a smooth, uniform bead appearance. This facilitates quick post-weld clean-up and professional-looking finishes on reclaimed components.
