Superior Impact, Strength and Crack Resistance on Carbon Steels
EutecTrode N102 XHD ®
WELDING • Easy and complete slag removal • No surface cross-checking • Excellent for field repairs • High deposition rate • Welder-friendly
WELDING PARAMETERS:
DESCRIPTION: N102 XHD is a general purpose hardfacing alloy for parts subjected to abrasive wear and impact. This specially designed electrode allows for out-of-position welding with ease. Due to a low susceptibility to cracking, multi-pass welds are possible.
TECHNICAL DATA: Typical Hardness (single pass): Polarity:
55-60 HRC AC/DC (+)
Recommended Amperages Diameter:
1/8” (3.2mm)
Amperage:
125-135
Preparation: Clean the weld area and remove scale and oxide. For parts below 40°F or over 1” thick, preheat to 150°F. Higher carbon steels require higher preheat (300°F - 500°F). Do not preheat Hadfield manganese steel castings above 200°F. Technique: Maintain a medium to short arc. The electrode should be inclined at a 30-45° angle in the direction of travel. Weld using stringer beads or 2x weaving. For vertical up welding, a weave technique is recommended. Be advised that weaving more than 2x the electrode diameter is not advised as it may overheat the base metal and degrade weld deposit wear properties. Prior to extinguishing the arc, back whip the craters to reduce crater cracking.
5/32” (4.0mm) 175-190
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS: APPLICATIONS
INDUSTRIES
Shredders
Recycling
Feed Screws
Pulp and Paper
Bucket Teeth
Mining
Roll Crushers
Iron and Steel Works
NOTE: When welding vertical-up set the amperage level between 100-110 amps…typically 100 amps would be optimum. Post-welding: Slow cool parts in still air. High carbon steels and air hardenable steels should be covered with a heat retardant blanket.
WARNING Protect yourself and others. Read and understand this warning. THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHROMIUM AND/OR NICKEL which are listed by OSHA, NTP, or IARC as being a carcinogen or potential carcinogen. Use of this product may expose you or others to fumes and gases at levels exceeding those established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). READ AND COMPLY WITH THE OSHA PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS FOR HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM (CrVi), Fed. Reg. 71-10099. MANGANESE & RELATED COMPOUNDS SUCH AS MANGANESE DIOXIDE: Overexposure to manganese and its compounds may cause metal fume fever characterized by chills, fever, upset stomach, vomiting, irritation of the throat and aching of the body. Excessive overexposure may affect the central nervous system. Symptoms may include muscular weak ness and tremors. Behavioral changes and changes in handwriting may also appear. Workers exposed to manganese and its compounds should receive quarterly medical examinations of early detection of manganese poisoning. FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. Certain medical studies have suggested that NERVOUS SYSTEM and/or LUNG DAMAGE can result from exposure to welding fumes and gases through the use of some electrodes. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Before use, read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), the manufacturer’s instructions, and follow your employer’s safety practices • Keep your head out of the fumes. • Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area. Respirators may be needed and should be chosen by the employer based on workplace conditions and contaminant levels. For information regarding a respiratory protection program, see OSHA 1910.134 requirements. • Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection. • Do not touch live electrical parts. • In case of medical emergency, call for medical aid. •See American National Standard Z49.1, Safety in Welding and Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33135; and OSHA Safety and Health Standards, 29CFR 1910, available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O.
