All-State®
HS 6IP (formerly HS-7) Hardfacing
Alloy for High Abrasion and Light Impact Carbon and Manganese
Steels AC or DC
Straight (Electrode –) or Reverse (Electrode +) All Position
General Characteristics
All-State HS 6IP is designed for all
position field welding where carbon and manganese steels are to be repaired
for abrasion resistance or light impact.
Its iron powder low hydrogen coating promotes good bonds. Arc action
is smooth in all positions and slag
removal easy and complete. High deposition rates are attainable. Excellent
for scraping wear.
Typical Applications
Pug Mill paddles, dragline and shovel
buckets and teeth, asphalt mixer paddles, truck bodies, screens, tamping
tools and anywhere light impact coupled
with good abrasion resistance is desired. Qualities
Hardness—Two layers on SAE 1020—55-59
Rockwell C. Deposits are non-machinable and smooth and slag
removal is easy. Can be hot forged
at red heat but will not respond to heat treatment. Procedures
A weave technique is recommended. Limit
deposit thickness to two passes or 1/4" (6.4mm) maximum.
Diameters and Recommended Amperages
1/8" (3.2mm)—120-160 3/16"
(4.8mm)—190-250 5/32"
(4.0mm)—140-190 1/4" (6.4mm)—260-320
Identification
All-State 6IP printed on electrode
coating and package. Packaging
All sizes in 3-lb. (1.36 kg) and 10-lb.
(4.54 kg) containers.
