McKay Tube-Alloy 242-O Hard Facing Self Shielded Tubular Wire - .045" Wire - 25 lb Spool - S604212-029

Tube-Alloy 242-O is a self-shielded, flux-cored wire that deposits a premium martensitic alloy steel. It has excellent resistance to adhesive (metal-to-metal) wear. The deposit’s good resistance to abrasion and impact makes it a versatile overlay alloy. It is designed for use as an overlay on carbon and low-alloy steels or a base of Tube-Alloy Build Up-O. With proper preheating, crack-free deposits can be obtained. Tube-Alloy 242-O should never be used for joining.

OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Tube-Alloy 242-O has a steady arc with a globular transfer. Spatter and noise levels are minimal, with a complete, easily removed slag cover. Out-of-position welding is limited to a horizontal shelf technique.

APPLICATIONS:
• Carbon Steel Frogs
• Carbon Steel Rolls
• Crane Wheels
