| Postalloy® 207 | Product Description | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Postalloy Flux-coated electrode: Work-hardening austenitic manganese steel hardfacing electrode |
Postalloy® 207 is a high alloy, work-hardening austenitic manganese steel hardfacing electrode. It can be used equally well for joining and buildup/surfacing of carbon, low alloy and manganese steels. Weld deposits made with Postalloy® 207 are a modified chromium-manganese chemistry providing an excellent combination of weld metal strength and ductility. Work-hardens rapidly under repeated impact. The yield strength is higher than ordinary manganese alloys providing greater resistance to mushrooming when subjected to compressive loads and repeated impact. Ideal as a cushioning or buffer layer on manganese steel parts that must be rebuilt on a repetitive basis. Since it will not embrittle until 1000°F (538°C), it will act as an insulator to the manganese base metal in helping it keep below 500°F (260°C) during the welding operation. | Fabricating manganese steels Grizzly bars |

When protection against severe abrasion is needed, Postalloy® 220HD is an ideal choice. • Easy out-of-position weldability with the 1/4" diameter • Excellent AC or DC operation, even on a "buzz box" • Low amperage and high metal recovery - no slag to chip. Postalloy® 220HD is over 90% efficient. • High deposition rates - up to 3 times faster than ordinary electrodes • Moisture resistant coating, even under severe weather or high humidity |
