Application Area. EN – 60M Welding Electrodes.

EN-60M are surfacing electrodes for hardening and restoration of rapidly wearing parts operating under conditions of increased loads and temperatures:
• Die tooling: surfacing of all types of dies (punches, matrices) for cold and hot forging, operating with heating of contact surfaces up to 400°C
• Machine tool equipment: surfacing of guides, eccentrics, gears and other rapidly wearing parts
• Repair of parts: restoration of products made of structural and alloy steels with a carbon content of more than 0.3%, as well as cast iron
• Railway transport: hardening of working elements of dies at repair plants

Welding Technique. EN – 60M Welding Electrodes.

Surfacing should be performed with direct current of reverse polarity in the flat or semi-vertical position with narrow beads, with preheating of the workpiece to a temperature of 300–400°C.

The deposited metal is prone to crack formation when working with steel with a carbon content of more than 0.3%, therefore mandatory preheating and slow cooling of the part after surfacing (in sand, asbestos, or a furnace) are required.

Regulatory Documents. EN – 60M Welding Electrodes.

GOST 9466-75, GOST 9467-75.

Main Weldable Materials. EN – 60M Welding Electrodes.

Surfacing and restoration of dies, matrices, punches for hot forming (up to 400°C), as well as rapidly wearing parts of machine tool equipment made of tool steels.

Special Properties. EN – 60M Welding Electrodes.

• High wear resistance during cold forming
• Very low spatter
• Extremely low susceptibility to cracking
• After surfacing — abrasive machining; after heat treatment — cutting with a cutter
