Proper weldings are subject to the recommended heat treatment. The deposit is resistant to seawater, thin acids and scale resistant in air and oxidizing gases up to 950°C . The weld deposit can be tempered and also can sustain working temperatures up to 450° C. and will offer scale resistance up to much higher temperatures. Preheating is recommended at 150 - 350° C. depending on the thickness of the base metal. Similar base metals should be pre-heated at 300° C to 400° C.
Hardfacing rollers that needs to have corrosion resistance, shafts, valve sealings for water, gas and steam equipment etc.
