S618029-084 - Hobart Tube-Alloy 887-S 3/32" Hardfacing Wire 600lb Drum

Premium Martensitic Stainless Hardfacing Wire

The Hobart Tube-Alloy 887-S is a specialized metal-cored wire designed for the submerged arc welding (SAW) process. Engineered to deposit a high-quality martensitic stainless steel alloy, this consumable is the industry standard for surfacing applications requiring a robust combination of wear resistance and thermal stability. The 3/32-inch diameter wire is formulated to produce a deposit that withstands severe metal-to-metal wear while maintaining integrity under conditions of thermal fatigue and corrosion.

This alloy is particularly effective for the maintenance and repair of continuous caster rolls in steel mills, where components are subjected to repetitive heating and cooling cycles alongside heavy mechanical loads. The Tube-Alloy 887-S deposit offers a microstructure that resists cracking and checking, ensuring prolonged service life for critical machinery. It is suitable for both single and multiple-layer overlays, allowing for substantial buildup on worn parts without compromising the metallurgical bond or deposit properties.

Supplied in a 600lb Auto-Pak drum, this product is optimized for high-volume, automated welding environments. The bulk packaging minimizes downtime associated with spool changes, ensuring continuous operation and consistent wire feeding. The wire is designed to run smoothly with neutral fluxes, producing clean, sound welds with excellent bead appearance and machinability.
