Outstanding alloy against abrasion, thermo-shock and corrosion combined with high temperatures. The weld deposit can be machined with tungsten tool tips and by grinding. The hardness of the weld deposit will degreas 20% at 600°C and has a nominal hardness of 49-53 HRc at room temperature. The weld deposit is high heat resistant up to 900°C.Dur 12 offers a low coefficient of friction of and exceptional resistance to galling. It has cavitation-erosion resistance ten times that of 304 stainless steel, Dur 12 can be used to protect bearing surfaces in non-lubricating conditions due to its resistance to metal-to-metal wear.
Stellite 12 alloy for hardfacing steam-valves, high temperature liquid pumps, hot cutting tools, cutting, tools for plastic, wood and paper as well as high stressed sealings and, sliding surfaces.
