DAIKOWM Ti 1

The high percentage of carbides gives this alloy extraordinary wear resistance, although it results in reduced impact and corrosion resistance. The alloy's superior hardness requires special attention, as it increases the tendency to crack during cooling. This risk can be minimized by strictly controlling preheat conditions, interpass temperature, and postheat techniques. Although cobalt-chrome deposits may soften slightly at high temperatures, they are generally considered immune to tempering. The weld metal obtained from ERCoCr-C electrodes and rods is ideal for fabricating components such as mixers and rotors, particularly in environments with high abrasion and low impact. This alloy is also suitable for uses such as pump sleeves, rotary seal rings, wear shoes, ejector screws, and bearing sleeves. The inclusion of tungsten helps to improve high-temperature hardness and matrix toughness, providing excellent wear resistance against both solid particle erosion and adhesion. The alloy maintains its hardness, ranging from 43–58 HRC, at temperatures up to 760 °C. A preheat of 300 °C or higher is generally recommended.
