Designed for SMAW hardfacing, this 5/32 in x 14 in Wearshield® 60 stick electrode deposits a hardfacing alloy intended to resist severe abrasion. Its deposits contain primary carbides in an austenite-carbide eutectic matrix and can be applied to carbon, low-alloy, stainless, and manganese steels, with deposits limited to two layers. It offers higher alloy content and abrasion resistance than Wearshield® ABR, Wearshield® 44, and Wearshield® ME.
