Wear-Arc 12-IP is a hardsurfacing covered electrode for heavy impact and good abrasion.
Wear-Arc 12-IP is designed for heavy impact and good abrasion resistance. The high alloy content of Wear-Arc 12-IP also provides good resistance to erosion and corrosion.Wear-Arc 12-IP is recommended to prolong the service life of new and worn parts subject to wear caused by abrasion and impact. Typical applications are: Dipper teeth and lips, dragline bucket lips, conveyor bucket lips, roll crushers, gyratory crusher parts, muller tires, impactors and hammer mill parts.

Warning:
The iron powder, low hydrogen coating of Wear-Arc 12-IP electrodes provides excellent arc characteristics and high deposition rates in all positions using AC or DC, either polarity. Weaving technique or stringer beads may be used. Deposit thickness should be limited to two passes or 1/4" (6.4 mm). Check cracks may appear as the deposit stress relieves itself. These cracks do not impair the wear resistance of the deposit, but do prevent warpage or distortion of the base metal. Deposits are non-machinable and do not respond to heat treatment. Weld deposits cannot be cut with oxy-acetylene torch or by air carbon-arc cutting.
