FUSION™ 600 E, a hardfacing electrode, is an excellent option for carbon and low alloy steels, cast iron and manganese, bonding readily to all. Primary applications for FUSION™ 600 E involve severe abrasion with moderate to heavy impact. It is normally used for earth-to-metal wear or wear due to abrasion of other particulate material. FUSION™ 600 E is a solid cored electrode with a heavy extruded coating which contains the alloying elements. It can be applied out of position. Deposits are uniform with excellent bead appearance and slag removal. It develops surface checks and is not machinable or forgeable. Compressive strength is very high.
