Stellite Cored Welding Wire
Claddings made from Kennametal’s Stellite cored welding wires resist corrosion, galling, erosion and general wear while retaining a high degree of hardness at elevated temperatures. Applications for these claddings include sealing faces on fluid control valves, mixer rotors used in the rubber industry, plastic & food extrusion screws, hot working tools and closed dies.
The metal cored wire is available in sizes ranging from 0.45”-.125” and is typically used with MIG or SAW welding process.
- MIG (GMAW): In Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding, also known as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) the wire is fed continuously into the arc, where it is melted and transferred to the workpiece. The MIG process is very flexible and is suitable for a wide range of applications.
- SAW: In Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) a fluxing powder flows around the wire which forms a protective gaseous shield around the weld Arc and the top of the weld pool.
