STARGOLD 60 NH – Non-Hardening Build-Up Electrode for Base Layering & Metal Recovery
STARGOLD 60 NH is a non-hardening, low-alloy steel electrode designed for build-up and restoration of worn-out metal components. With excellent fusion, ductility, and machinability, it serves as the ideal buffer or base layer before applying hardfacing alloys.
This electrode ensures crack-free performance in high-stress zones and is especially useful in surfacing applications involving mild steel, cast steel, and manganese steel components.
Available Packs: 3.15mm, 4.00mm, 5.00mm
