OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Wear Protection

The Josef H60 Hard Facing Stick Electrode (4.0mm) is a premium maintenance and repair consumable designed specifically for extending the service life of heavy machinery components. Engineered to combat severe abrasion and moderate impact, this electrode deposits a martensitic weld metal with a nominal hardness of approximately 60 HRC (Rockwell C). It is the ideal solution for industrial sectors such as mining, quarrying, agriculture, and construction where equipment is constantly subjected to earth, sand, and mineral wear.

Formulated for operational efficiency, the Josef H60 provides a stable arc and excellent bead appearance, minimizing post-weld cleanup. The 4.0mm diameter allows for higher deposition rates, making it suitable for covering larger surface areas on bucket teeth, crusher jaws, scraper blades, and conveyor chutes. The electrode performs reliably on both AC and DC+ currents, offering versatility across various power sources found in maintenance workshops and field service trucks.

By utilizing Josef H60 electrodes, maintenance departments can significantly reduce the frequency of part replacements and unplanned downtime. The deposit is not machinable and should be finished by grinding only, which is characteristic of high-performance hardfacing alloys. Whether used for preventative maintenance on new parts or restoring worn components to their original dimension, the Josef H60 ensures your equipment remains operational in the harshest environments.

FAQ

The Josef H60 produces a weld deposit with a hardness of approximately 55-60 HRC (Rockwell C), providing excellent resistance to abrasion.

No, the deposit is too hard to be machined using standard tools. It must be finished by grinding.

These electrodes can be run on both AC (Alternating Current) and DC+ (Direct Current Electrode Positive).

Preheating is generally recommended when welding on high-carbon or alloy steels to prevent cracking in the base metal or the transition zone.

It is typically recommended to limit buildup to 2-3 layers to prevent cracking of the hardfacing deposit. If more buildup is needed, use a buffer layer electrode first.

While exact settings depend on the machine, a range of 140-190 Amps is typically effective for 4.0mm hardfacing electrodes.

No, H60 is a hardfacing rod designed for surface protection, not for structural joining or repairing cracks. Use a structural rod like 7018 for joining.

It is not primarily designed for cast iron. Welding hardfacing directly onto cast iron carries a high risk of cracking; a nickel-based buffer layer would be required if attempted.
