Ultimate Joining and Cladding Electrode for Most Industrial Steels

Xuper 6868 XHD

WELDING
Ultra-fast, high deposition! High strength on dissimilar steels Excellent for use for cladding prior to hardfacing Composition is very good for joining Carbon and 3xx Stainless Steels

DESCRIPTION
Xuper 6868 XHD is uniquely formulated for both highstrength joining of low-to-medium carbon steels, most 3xx stainless steels and for surface cladding prior to hardfacing. Weld deposits are tough and crack-resistant and will not spall under repeated impacts. This easily handled high deposition electrode does not overheat at the recommended amperage settings.

WELDING PROCEDURE & TECHNIQUE

Preparation: Clean weld area of scale and/or oxide. Angle prepping normally involves close-butts and/or bevel preparations. If a joint preparation is needed, a 60 bevel is acceptable. Preheat and inter-pass temperatures will depend on the grade of steel, if known. Known grades should be nominally preheated within a 400-500 F range.

Technique: A short, non-contact technique is recommended for both fillet and butt-welding. Use a slightly longer TYPICAL ANTI-WEAR APPLICATIONS & INDUSTRIES arc-length for bead-on-plate welding. Deposit stringer APPLICATIONS INDUSTRY beads or 2 times to 3 times weave beads. Do not weave Rebuild parts prior to hardfacing Most Industries Mold repairs Manufacture of Plastic Products more than three times the electrode diameter otherwise slag interference will be encountered.

Post-Welding: Parts that have been preheated should be wrapped or covered with heat-retardant material to help with slow cooling.
