Fabrication Facts
Machining:
The overlay surface can be finished by grinding only. EDM, plasma arc cutting or carbon-arc gouging may produce countersunk holes for bolts. Pre-machined mild steel inserts may be welded into straight holes for additional machining. ChromeWeld 600 can not be machined by ordinary methods.
Cold Blending:
When using a press brake, forming should be perpendicular to the weld pass direction. Plate rolling should be performed in the direction of the overlay beads. Forming ChromeWeld 600 to the outside will cause cross-check cracks to open. This may require post-fabrication weld repair using suitable weld rod/wire.
Welding:
ChromeWeld 600 overlay plate can be joined by welding substrate to substrate using 309 stainless if pieces are beveled or if not beveled, T7100 series flux core. Liner plates can be plug welded in place by welding the substrate to the base plate. Stud welds can be applied, but it is highly recommended that stainless steel studs be used. All weld seams, plug weld holes, bolt holes and all other joints exposed to wear should be protected by a cap weld of ChromeWeld 600 weld rod/wire.
