All-State Ni-Matrix has a low hydrogen coating and will deposit austenitic weld metal that is high in ductility and strength. The welds provide excellent resistance to heavy impact and compressive loads. The weld metal on the surface will work harden; but below the surface, it will remain tough and ductile. Recommended for use where the welds are subject to constant severe impact and heavy compressive tools. Used to attach wear plates, blades, teeth and other parts to heavy equipment.

Procedure

No special technique is required but some general recommendations should be followed. Do not weld on base metal that is not clean or sound. Be sure that base metal has not been hardened. No preheat is necessary. Keep base metal heat to a minimum by using large electrodes, low amperage and short arc length.
