Eagle Alloys: Hardfacing (Electrodes)

When it comes to preventative maintenance on your machines or tools, nothing can protect from wear like hardfacing. Basically when you are hardfacing, you are welding on harder material to a softer base metal to enhance durability and extend the lifespan of your equipment.

Hardfacing is designed to protect against wear in many different forms. Abrasion, like in the oil sands or earth moving, impact in mining and metal recycling, or corrosion like in the potash mines. With this in mind, not all hardfacing products are the same. If you are looking for high impact, you would be looking for something a little softer (56-58 RC). This hardness will have a little give in it so it doesn’t just chonk out when something hard hits it. If you are under severe abrasion, you would want to go with a product that is harder (60-63 RC).

What does RC stand for?

When we talk about RC we are talking about the Rockwell C scale that tests for hardness. A diamond indenter will be pushed against the metal under a minor load. Once it is recorded, that diamond indenter will once again be pushed against that same metal but this time under a major load. This will ultimately determine the hardness. It gets nerdier than this, but it gives you the gist. The higher the RC – the harder it is.

Tale of the tape

One thing you can do to see the effectiveness of your hardfacing is conduct a “grind test.” Simply grind your base metal, then grind your hardfacing. The first grind, you will most likely see a shower of sparks, and when you grind the hardfacing, you will hopefully not see any sparks at all or at the very least minimal. True wear tests are always the most effective route and will give you the best information to determine the best hardfacing for your application.

The Eagle line of hardfacing electrodes

Eagle 603 Build-Up (28-32 RC)

Build-up and underlay for carbon steels. This electrode is all-position and fully machinable.

Rebuilding hard bars, idlers, sprockets, rollers, rail ends, ditcher segments and ditcher rails.

Eagle 606 (58-60 RC)

All-position for use on applications subject to high impact and moderate abrasion.

Crusher rolls, shovel teeth, bucket teeth, mixer paddles, scrapers, feeder screws, mixer chutes, fan blades and mill hammers.

Eagle 614 (450 Work Hardened BH)

Build-up and joining manganese and carbon steels.

Crusher rolls, manganese hammers, rail frogs, shovel pads, dredge pump parts, crusher jaws, dipper lids and manganese teeth.

Eagle 634 (60-63 RC)

Chromium carbide electrode containing alloys for excellent resistance to severe abrasion and moderate impact.

Bucket teeth, buckets, bucket lips, corner bits, dredge pump impellers, grapples mixer paddles, ripper teeth, screw conveyors, compactors, mill hammers, sides of scrapers and mining equipment.

Eagle 636 (60-63 RC)

High deposition rate with resistance to severe abrasion and moderate impact.

Earth augers, bucket teeth, buckets, bucket lips, mixer paddles, ripper teeth, screw conveyors, compactors, mill hammers, sides of scrapers and mining equipment.

Eagle 646 Tool Steel (Heat treated 62-64 RC)

Designed for use on high speed and hot working tools.

Dies, punches, shears, debarker knives, mill cutters and planing tools.

Eagle 673 (63-65 RC)

Wear and abrasion hardfacing for parts subject to extremely high abrasion by coal, ore, sand, cement and gravel. Deposits are highly resistant to abrasion and erosion at elevated temperatures up to 1600°F.

Eagle 674 (58-62 RC)

All-position tubular hardfacing electrode for application subject to high abrasion. Tubular means this electrode doesn’t have flux so it can be applied cooler, with lower amps.

Shear-Build 45 (45 RC)

Designed for shears and metal recycling. You can multi-pass with this electrode and the hardfacing won’t chonk out.
