X-Bar™ - Latch Bar and Dutchman Hardfacing Alloy

Extend service life on power shovel latch bars and dutchman with long wearing X-Bar hardfacing electrodes. X-Bar produces a very tough martensite deposit that will resist frictional metal-to-metal wear. It stands up to scratching, sliding and gouging abrasion while resisting moderate to heavy impact.

• Tough - resists cracking, chipping or spalling
• All-position - saves time and allows in-position welding
• Super smooth welding arc - easy to use with a smooth finish
• Economical - saves money with long lasting overlays
• Multipass overlays - good for buildup
• Versatile - for use on carbon and abrasion resistant alloy steels including
  manganese steels
• Sound deposits- generally does not cross-check

SPECIFICATIONS
