They are made up of superior grade components and hi tech machinery at our unit under the vigilance of our professionals. CCR-20 Hardfacing Electrodes have gained us huge acknowledgement from our customers among our competitors.
Engineered for Extreme Wear ProtectionThe CCR-20 Hardfacing Electrodes are specifically formulated for applications where components face severe abrasion, impact, and elevated operating temperatures. Their thick rutile and basaltic flux coating ensures not only superior mechanical properties but also excellent arc stability during welding processes. This makes them highly reliable for maintenance use in demanding industries.
Versatile Application and User-Friendly WeldingSuitable for use in both AC and DC (+) welding currents, CCR-20 electrodes deliver smooth, stable arcs and high deposition efficiency. This enhances productivity and makes them easy to use for both repair and buildup welding. They are supplied in various diameters, allowing precise adaptation to different repair tasks and component sizes.
Quality Composition and Reliable PackagingManufactured with strict control over material composition, CCR-20 electrodes blend cobalt, chromium, tungsten, and carbon for optimal hardfacing performance. Delivered in hermetically sealed 5 kg and 25 kg packs, the electrodes are protected from moisture, preserving their 12-month shelf life when stored under dry conditions.
FAQs of CCR-20 Hardfacing Electrodes:
Q: How should CCR-20 Hardfacing Electrodes be stored to maximize their shelf life?
A: To maintain the 12-month shelf life, store CCR-20 Hardfacing Electrodes in a dry environment within their hermetically sealed packaging. Avoid exposure to moisture or damp conditions, which can compromise the electrode coating and welding performance.
Q: What are the main benefits of using CCR-20 electrodes for hardfacing applications?
A: CCR-20 electrodes provide outstanding protection against abrasion, impact, and corrosion, even at high temperatures up to 700C. The cobalt-chromium alloy composition delivers a hard yet tough weld deposit (40-45 HRC) that extends the service life of machinery and components in harsh operating environments.
Q: When is it appropriate to use CCR-20 electrodes instead of regular welding rods?
A: CCR-20 electrodes are best chosen for the repair or buildup of parts subjected to severe wear and high thermal loads, such as hoppers, crusher components, or heat-treatment dies. They outperform standard welding rods by providing greater wear resistance and hardness, making them ideal for heavy-duty industrial maintenance.
Q: Where can CCR-20 Hardfacing Electrodes be applied?
A: These electrodes are widely used in industries such as mining, cement, steel, and power generation for hardfacing repair and maintenance. Typical applications include earth moving equipment, valves, conveyor screws, and other components exposed to intense wear and high temperatures.
Q: What is the recommended process for welding with CCR-20 electrodes?
A: For optimal results, set the welding machine to an open circuit voltage between 70-90V and select the correct electrode diameter for the job (2.5 mm to 5.0 mm). Use either AC or DC (+) current. Ensure the work surface is clean and dry before welding to achieve strong, uniform deposits.
Q: How does the flux coating on CCR-20 electrodes impact welding performance?
A: The thick rutile and basaltic coating stabilizes the arc, improves adhesion, and reduces spatter. It also helps shield the molten weld from contaminants, leading to high-quality, smooth, and consistent welds suitable for demanding hardfacing tasks.
