Zeta C Arc Rod

Zeta C is the ultimate hardfacing rod for extreme abrasion, even when accompanied with impact. Deposits have an incredible first pass hardness, the highest weld metal deposit per pound of electrode — over 50% more than conventional rods — and the fastest deposition rates, twice as fast as conventional rods, making Zeta C the most cost effective hardfacing rod available.

Features

• Unique Tubular Design
• Ultra High Alloy Content of 38%
• Hardness: 58–62 RC
• Resists Severe Abrasion
• Low Heat Requirements, Little Waste
• Fast Deposition Rates Rival the Speed of Wire Feed — Up to 10 lb/hr
• Flux Coating Impervious to Atmosphere — No Special Storage Needed

Quick Specs

• For hardfacing against extreme abrasion, even with impact
• 1/4″ (6.4mm): 100A · 3/8″ (9.5mm): 180A · 1/2″ (12.7mm): 225A — AC/DC ±40%, DCEP
• Weld downward or with slight uphill slope for heavier build-up; preheat thick or alloy steels except 11–14% manganese steels, which must stay cool

Applications

• Pump castings & impellers, crushing equipment, cast iron
• Suction dredge cutters, dredge buckets & lips, clam shell buckets
• Dragline buckets & teeth, earth moving equipment, power shovels, augers
• Railway ballast tampers, rolling mill guides, sizing screens, agricultural implements
