Lincoln Electric 10lb 1/8″x14″ Wearshield ME Sticks Rods ED023323

Lincoln Electric Wearshield® ME Hardfacing Stick Electrodes

The Lincoln Electric Wearshield® ME Hardfacing Stick Electrodes are engineered for superior performance in hardfacing applications, offering enhanced abrasion resistance and durability. These electrodes are ideal for industries requiring robust solutions for equipment subjected to severe wear conditions.

Key Features

• High Alloy Composition: Formulated with a high alloy content that produces chrome carbides and austenite, providing exceptional hardness and wear resistance.
• Enhanced Abrasion Resistance: Delivers greater abrasion resistance compared to other hardfacing electrodes, making it suitable for demanding applications.
• Low Dilution Weld Metal: Ensures a eutectic mix of chromium carbides and austenite with limited primary carbides, resulting in a tough and wear-resistant deposit.
• Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use on carbon and low alloy steels, austenitic manganese steels, and austenitic stainless steels, offering flexibility across various materials.

Typical Applications

• Muller Tires: Enhances the durability of muller tires used in foundry applications.
• Augers: Provides wear resistance for augers operating in abrasive environments.
• Bucket Teeth: Extends the service life of bucket teeth subjected to heavy impact and abrasion.
• Dozer Blades: Improves the wear resistance of dozer blades used in earth-moving operations.
