$376.80/30lb canThe Hobart Hardalloy 32 is a specialized stick electrode engineered for the build-up of carbon and low alloy steels. As a heat-treatable alloy steel, it is formulated to provide a deposit with high compressive strength, making it the definitive choice for creating a sound base or "buttering" layer before the application of harder, more abrasion-resistant overlay alloys. In heavy industrial maintenance, ensuring the structural integrity of the base layer is critical to preventing the spalling or failure of the final hardfacing surface. Hardalloy 32 addresses this by offering a tough, ductile deposit that absorbs impact and supports the load.
One of the primary technical advantages of Hardalloy 32 is its unlimited build-up capability. Unlike many hardfacing electrodes that are limited to two or three layers to prevent cracking, this electrode is designed to be deposited in as many layers as necessary to restore the component to its original dimensions. It exhibits excellent resistance to cracking, even in thick, multiple-pass deposits, which is essential when rebuilding severely worn parts such as kiln trunnions, crane wheels, and massive gear teeth. The deposit is machinable, allowing for precise dimensional restoration prior to final service or overlay.
Operable on both Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) and Alternating Current (AC), this electrode offers versatility in shop and field environments. It is specifically recommended for applications where the part is subject to heavy rolling loads or compressive stress. By using Hardalloy 32 as an underlayment, welders can extend the service life of the final hardfacing layer, ensuring that the expensive abrasion-resistant topcoat has a solid foundation that will not deform under pressure.
