MG MG 6316L - 16 MG 6316 - 16 SLIK - STIK STAINLESS ELECTRODES GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: These alloys have a high molybdenum content to give them additional strength, even at high temperatures and to provide extra corrosion resistance to certain acids. The high quality, balanced chemistry of these electrodes gives them superior welding characteristics. They are designed with a special spray type arc transfer. This results in less heat input because a closer arc gap can be maintained while welding. This also makes it an easier electrode to use in all positions. MG 6316 and MG 6316L have arc stabilizers in the coating that make them outstanding when used on AC machines. The slag is very easy to remove - virtually self-lifting. The special coating ensures, dense, porosity free deposits. APPLICATIONS: MG 6316-16 is designed to weld type 316 stainless steel. This group has molybdenum added to increase its corrosion resistance and creep strength at elevated temperatures. Chemical plants, pulp and paper, and textile dyeing industries use this alloy because of its resistance to corrosion from sulfite liquor solutions. Also used in petroleum refinery equipment and phamaceutical equipment, as well as photographic equipment, food processing equipment and nuclear equipment. MG 6316L-16 is used on 316L grades of stainless steel or where carbon content must be low, also for CF-3M, CF-8M castings.

A 60° bevel is used when welding parts 3/16” or heavier. DC reverse polarity is preferred. Use lowest amp setting possible to get good bead contour which is usually about 20% less than for mild steel. In fabricating, tack weld at close intervals using next smaller diameter electrode. Chip slag and stainless steel wire brush tacks before welding. Use stringer beads where possible and keep close arc gap while welding. Avoid excess heat build-up. Thin sheets may have to be clamped with chill blocks to avoid excessive distortion.

TECHNICAL DATA: Active Temperature Range ............................................................. 350º F to 500º F Form ............................................................................................... Paste or Liquid Container Size ......................... 8 oz. Jar for Paste, 4 oz. and 1 Gallon Jar for Liquid PROCEDURE: This flux, when heated, will commence to melt at soldering temperature, the melting takes the form of a “bubbling” effect which indicates the temperature at which MG120 alloy should be applied. Flux Removal: MG 120 flux residues should be removed once the solder alloy has solidified by washing with the aid of a stiff wire brush in warm water. Where components have become cold prior to washing, remove residues with the aid of hot water. Flux residues may, if required, be removed with the assistance of a chemical wash, the following steps are recommended..... 1) Wash in hot water for 12-15 minutes. 2) Wash with a 1% hydrochloric acid for a few minutes. 3) Followed by an alkaline solution wash in order to neutralize any entrapped acid in the joint. 4) Wash in hot water 10-15 minutes.

With the unique concentrated flux imbedded in the surface of the brazing rod, the welder will no longer have to fight through excessive flux to put down a perfectly brazed joint. At 1400°-1600°F the deposit has controlled fluidity which makes it ideal for surfacing and build-up of parts subjected to frictional wear. When the temperature is increased to 1650° - 1750°F the alloy becomes very thin flowing and will produce high strength joints with only .001” to .003” clearance. The P.F.C. (Precision Flux Controlled) will in most instances cut brazing and clean up time in half. These are extremely important factors when dealing with cost conscious welders or companies. APPLICATIONS: 1.

It can be applied in all positions with the oxy/fuel torch. Tungsten inert gas, DC welding machines, and other expensive welding equipment are not needed for the repair of most aluminum parts; therefore this rod fills the needs of many welders both in the shop and field. APPLICATIONS: Fabricating, build-up, and repair of all weldable grades of aluminum, including cast alloys. Ideal for joining dissimilar gauges and for poor fit-up applications where a less fluid alloy is desired.

Since it has a “0” plastic range, its strength remains relatively high even at service temperatures up to 350°F (175°C). This solder has better corrosion resistance and higher strength than ordinary soft solders, but the bonding temperature is much lower than the silver brazing alloys, therefore it is the ideal intermediate alloy for joining. APPLICATIONS: Aluminum radiators, aluminum tube to copper tube in refrigeration and air conditioning units, sheet metal work, manufacture and repair of instruments, zinc base die casting and joining of dissimilar metals. Also for use on anodized aluminum.

Other alloying elements are added to give high strength and low working temperature. Since no flux is used, post cleanup is eliminated. Warpage, distortion, and discoloration of the work is prevented by the low working temperature. APPLICATIONS: Ideal for joining aluminum extrusions used in the manufacture and repair of aluminum doors and windows. Also repairing ladders, gutters, siding, aluminum boats and instrument boxes. Most kirksite and zinc base die castings can be repaired with this alloy. May also be used as a wearfacing alloy on aluminum.

Preheat heavy sections and hardened steels to 400°F-600°F (200°C-310°C). To prevent excessive dilution with the base metal, two thin layers are recommended instead of one thick bead. Maintain a medium arc length. Direct arc on previously deposited weld metal. Stringer or very narrow wear beads should be used. Cool slowly. Deposits can be finished by grinding. For gas welding, a neutral flame should be used to preheat the workpiece. When the sweat or brazing heat is reached (just before the red starts to show), apply a small amount of MG 780 to set or tin the surface; then add more alloy to buildup using a bead forming technique.

In turn, this provides excellent resistance to combined wear by abrasion, impact and/or pressure. MG 780W is a flux-cored wire that is specifically developed for on-site maintenance and repair welding of thick, heavy components where faster weld deposition rates are desired. APPLICATIONS: • • • Crusher Hammers Crusher Rolls Bucket Teeth and lips • • • Dragline Teeth and Lips Scraper Blades Dredge Pump Components TECHNICAL DATA: Typical Hardness: Sizes Available: 1st pass: … HRc 45 7/64” diameter on 33 lb. spools nd 2 pass: … HRc 55 3rd pass: … HRc 60 Welding Parameters: DCEP (+) Range “A”: 350 375 amps @ 27-30 volts Range “B”: 250 amps @ 25-27 volts *NOTE: Range “A” is for thick sections and high deposition rates. Range “B” is for thin sections, minimal dilution and low heat input. PROCEDURE: Remove old welding deposits and worn metal with MG 570. Round of sharp corners. Preheat the base material to proper temperatures, which should be determined based on thickness, as well as carbon and alloy content. On hardening and self-hardening steels it may be necessary to apply a buffer layer consisting of two passes of the MG 620W to act as a “cushion”. Once the arc is struck, work the arc in a circular weaving pattern to obtain a regular and compact deposit. Maintain an arc length of approximately 1 ½”. Too long an arc can reduce the mechanical properties of the deposit.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: This composite type rod is made up of easy to wet, super hard, sharp tungsten carbide particles that are held in a shock resisting matrix that also has extra holding strength to keep these carbide particles from coming off, even under extreme conditions. Can be used on steel, cast iron, and copper alloys. When the exposed carbide chips become dull, they can be heated and repositioned to expose new, sharp edges to help reduce application costs. Available in various size tungsten carbide chips. APPLICATIONS: Used to overlay drills, reamers, bucket teeth, augers, stabilizers, milling tools, or any parts that must take severe abrasion. Used extensively in the oil and earth moving industries where abrasion resistance as well as good impact qualities are important. Can be used to surface horseshoes to prevent slipping, or on any part that needs a rough surface. Can also be used in the agriculture and dredging industries on mill hammers, plow shares, cultivator shovels, dredge bucket lips, dredge pump cutters, side pump plates, and drive tumbler plates. It can be used in the brick and cement industries for crusher rolls, muller plows, shredder knives, pug mill knives, pipe forming shoes, etc. TECHNICAL DATA: Hardness .............................................................................

For best results, first deposit a thin layer of MG 130. Previously overlayed areas need no special treatment or tinning, as MG 788 will adhere perfectly to itself. Preheat the area to about 600°F before tinning, deposit carbides and matrix to the desired width and thickness, placing the carbides where they will be most effective. Be sure to keep the area fluxed with MG-350 Flux to insure good clean deposits. To rejuvenate dull carbide chips, flux the deposited surface, heat until the matrix becomes semi-molten (mushy). With a steel rod, push at the carbides to reposition them until sharp edges are exposed.

The low melting point of this alloy makes it ideal for sub-assembly work. It often replaces silver solder on copper or copper to copper applications. This is one of the quickest ways to make strong, leak-proof joints. APPLICATIONS: This thin flowing alloy is self-wetting on copper. It is ideal for joints on thin-walled tubing and complex copper and copper alloy parts. Excellent for use in rebuilding armatures in electric motor repair. It is also used for air conditioning and refrigeration tubing. When using on copper base alloys, MG Slik-Sil PF flux must be used. TECHNICAL DATA: Tensile Strength ......................................................................... approx. 42,000 psi Bonding Temperature ..................................................................... approx. 1185°F PROCEDURE: Clean surface thoroughly. Preheat to 800°F and spray powder over entire area to be surfaced, keeping torch tip approximately 2-3 inches from the work piece. Without spraying any more powder, position tip approximately 3/4” to 1” above the work piece and wet the alloy out. If a thick deposit is required, repeat the process. Do not use on steel alloys.

It resists galling at higher temperatures. Very fine microfinishes are possible. APPLICATIONS: Because of the low coefficient of friction, Fusekote 1060 is excellent for applications involving metal-to-metal contact. Certain synergistic elements provide excellent wetting capability on steels, cast iron, stainless steel, nickel and nickel base alloys. Excellent for parts that are subject to wear such as cams, activator fingers, shredding blades and small hammer mill paddles. TECHNICAL DATA: Fusekote 1060 is a high nickel, high chromium homogeneous alloy that give it a unique, dense, smooth, hard surface. It wets out well on most base metals. Finishing must be accomplished by grinding, nitrified grinding wheels are recommended. Hardness ..................................................................................................Rc 58-62 PROCEDURE: The area to be overlayed should be cleaned just before applying. Preheat the entire area to 600°F (on steel, a blue tint will be noticed.) Spray a thin layer of powder alloy over the entire area keeping the torch tip approximately 2-3 inches from the workpiece. Without spraying any more alloy, position the tip about 3/4” to 1” above the workpiece and wet the alloy out. If a thicker deposit is required, repeat the process.

These chips make it extremely abrasive resistant, even under the most severe conditions. This alloy is resistant to corrosion, even at high temperatures. It can be applied in very thin deposits or thicker deposits may be used where necessary. APPLICATIONS: Fusekote 1070 is used when severe abrasion is needed in large area metal contact. This alloy should be used where gravel, cement, and other abrasive media causes wear. Fusekote 1070 can be used on steels, cast iron, stainless steels, nickel and nickel alloys. It has good build-up characteristics that make it especially good for cutting or chopping edges. Chipper knives are an excellent application for this product. TECHNICAL DATA: Fusekote 1070 has a tough nickel, chromium matrix that contains tungsten carbide particles. When the finer particles dissolve in the matrix, higher hardnesses are achieved. As the matrix wears away, the whole carbides are exposed and resist wear, even in extreme situations. If finishing is required, use water cooled silicon carbides or diamond grinding wheels. Matrix Hardness .............................................................................. Approx. Rc 63 Tungsten Carbide Particle Hardness............................................................. Rc 70 PROCEDURE: The area to be overlayed should be cleaned just before applying. Preheat the entire area to 600°F (on steel, a blue tint will be noticed.) Spray a thin layer of powder alloy over the entire area keeping the torch tip approximately 2-3 inches from the workpiece. Without spraying any more alloy, position the tip about 3/4” to 1” above the workpiece and wet the alloy out. If a thicker deposit is required, repeat the process. If a gritty surface is needed, a very thin coating should be applied so that the tungsten carbide particles can protrude from the surface after it is wet out.

The amount and size of the carbides make it the ultimate in abrasion resistance. The deposits of 1075 are sharp and gritty for applications that need a gripping surface. Thicker deposits tend to be smooth because the heavier tungsten carbide particles settle lower in the thick deposits. As the deposit wears down, the carbides are exposed and wear almost stops. APPLICATIONS: Fusekote 1075 is used where exceptional abrasion resistance is needed, especially in heat cycling or corrosion resistance situations. This alloy, when deposited as a thin layer, leaves dense, coarse tungsten carbides protruding making it ideal as a surface for take-up and in-feed rolls; also ideal for building up edges or any fast wearing parts of tools. Can be used on steels, cast iron, stainless steel, nickel and nickel alloys. TECHNICAL DATA: Fusekote 1075 is a heterogeneous alloy with a high nickel, high chromium matrix containing the optimum amount of coarse tungsten carbide.
