FAQs of LoTherme-600 Hard Facing Welding Rod Facing or Overlay Applications:
Q: How should I use LoTherme-600 welding rods for hard facing applications?
A: LoTherme-600 rods are best utilized for facing or overlaying components that encounter severe abrasion, impact, or metal-to-metal friction. Ensure you weld in flat or horizontal positions using the specified amperage based on rod diameter. The rods are suitable for both AC and DC (+) welding machines.
Q: What types of surfaces or equipment benefit most from LoTherme-600 overlays?
A: These welding rods are ideal for overlaying parts subjected to intense abrasion and impact, such as mining equipment, crusher parts, agricultural implements, and industrial machinery parts that need enlarged wear resistance and a hard surface.
Q: When is re-drying of LoTherme-600 electrodes necessary?
A: LoTherme-600 rods do not require re-drying under normal storage and operating conditions. This helps reduce preparation time before welding and offers convenience during field operations.
Q: Where can I purchase LoTherme-600 welding rods in bulk?
A: As a distributor, exporter, manufacturer, and supplier based in India, bulk or retail orders of LoTherme-600 can be processed directly through authorized dealers or manufacturers. Check for packaging options of 5 kg or 10 kg packets depending on your requirements.
Q: What is the typical process for welding with LoTherme-600 rods?
A: Begin by cleaning the base metal, then select the appropriate rod diameter and set the recommended amperage. Maintain a steady welding arc and use either AC or DC (+) as a current source. LoTherme-600s heavy-coated basic flux helps achieve optimal weld metal hardness and minimizes hydrogen cracking.
Q: What makes LoTherme-600 rods advantageous for hard facing projects?
A: LoTherme-600 delivers excellent deposition efficiency (~110%) and achieves weld metal hardness of 58-62 HRC. Its formulation ensures resistance to wear, with a long shelf life and readiness for immediate use, making it highly beneficial for demanding overlay applications.
