Postalloy® 233HD Tubular Electrode

Postalloy® 233HD is a chromium carbide tubular hardface electrode with the addition of niobium. The addition of this alloy improves the abrasion resistance of the weld deposit. It's tubular structure permits higher travel speeds and much higher percentages of carbide forming elements contained in the core than with ordinary flux-coated electrodes. Due to its unique tubular design, Postalloy® 233HD offers very smooth operational characteristics and is over 90% efficient.

Weld deposit chemistry consist of chromium and niobium carbides combined in such a way as to produce extremely good abrasion resistance coupled with mild to moderate impact resistance. Deposits take on a high polish to resist sliding particle abrasion and will maintain good hot hardness up to 1000 °F (538 °C).

• High metal recovery - no slag to chip
• Low amperage and high deposition rates - up to 3 times faster than ordinary electrodes
• Moisture resistant coating, even under severe weather or high humidity.
