Specification :

oerlikon CITODUR V 1000 hardsurfacing welding electrodes.
Thick rutile-covered high alloy electrode depositing hypereutectic chromium hard metal. It is suitable for producing highly wear resisting deposits subject to abrasion by mineral particles. The typical transverse cracks appearing in this hard facing weld metal are not detrimental to abrasion resistance. However, the weld metal is not resistant to impact and shock, and is machinable only by grinding. On difficult-to-weld steels, a buffer layer made with OERLIKON CITOCHROMAX N electrodes is required. OERLIKON CITODUR V-1000 produces very smooth weld beads with flat penetration. Metal
recovery is approx. 160%.
