Characteristics

LOTHERME OA-0196 is a hard-surfacing wire
to deposit complex carbides of chromium,
molybdenum, vanadium, along with niobium and
tungsten. The weld metal has excellent abrasion
& impact resistance properties at elevated service
temperature applications up to 8000C. The
deposited weld bead has a metallic appearance
and does not require any post-weld cleaning.
Stress relief cracks appear on the surface of the weld
during the cooling of the bead. Weld bead is
machinable by grinding.

Applications

LOTHERME OA-0196 is suitable for welding of chutes in blast furnace bells &
screens, burden area & throat armour plates of blast furnace, sinter plant decks
& parts, grizzly bars, sugarcane industries, boiler fan blades, etc.
