Description
The Hardface Electrode 58 3.2mm X 350mm 2kg delivers outstanding performance in high-impact and moderate abrasion conditions. This tough electrode is designed to protect and rebuild worn steel components, extending the service life of parts exposed to heavy-duty applications. With its excellent hardness and bonding characteristics, it’s ideal for repair and maintenance work in demanding environments.
This 3.2mm hardfacing rod is commonly used on equipment such as crusher jaws, loader buckets, railway frogs, and agricultural blades. Its special alloy coating creates a wear-resistant layer that withstands impact and moderate metal-to-metal contact. The 350mm length allows for a steady arc, and the 2kg pack size is convenient for on-site work or workshop repairs.
Hardface Electrode 58 provides smooth arc operation, easy slag removal, and minimal spatter. It offers excellent fusion with carbon and low-alloy steels, producing a tough, crack-resistant weld bead. You can apply it in either single-layer or build-up passes depending on the level of wear resistance required.
Use it with DC+ polarity for the best results. While preheating may not be necessary on most carbon steels, thick or high-hardness base metals may benefit from moderate preheat and slow cooling.
If you’re working in agriculture, mining, construction, or rail, this electrode helps reduce part replacement and equipment downtime. Explore our full range of hardfacing electrodes for more options suited to different wear types.
