Astro Tungsten Carbide Welding Electrode
Astro Tungsten Carbide Welding Electrode
The Astro Tungsten Carbide Electrode is a new concept in hardfacing, utilising tungsten carbides in spherical matrices such that they have the approximate hardness of diamond.
Our unique, Astro Tungsten Carbide Electrode consumable has crushed or spherical carbides in a 6mm tube high grade nickel alloy matrix and binder. The dense, wear resistant properties of the finished surfacing are assured, by maintaining both the ratio and combination of carbide sizes throughout the length of the rod.
Electrode For Utmost Abrasion Resistance (also available in floppy rod for oxy)
Applications:
Astro’s tungsten carbide can be used under the most severe conditions in many industries to achieve longer life against abrasion, less down time and to serve as a protective surface which can be rebuilt again and again when necessary.
- Oil industry - On stabilisers, drill strings, bits and finishing tools
- Dredging - On cutter teeth, dragging teeth and pump castings
- Cement and brick- On augers, extruder and feed screws, deflection cones, pump rings and liners
- ALLOY AND STEEL FOUNDRIES - On sand and coal mixer paddles, guides and raking equipment
- Paper - On mixers, compression screws, pulverisers and shredders
- Mining and Power- Between coal crusher teeth, on rotating bucket teeth, and pulverised fuel system
- Clay and Ceramics - On wetting and mixing units, grinding cylinder scrapers, rakes and crusher teeth
- Plastics and Rubber - On mixer/extrution screws and liners, rotors and spares
Features:
- Reduced distortion and oxidation of base metal
- Dense distribution of carbide particles
- Corrosion resistant matrix
- Faster coverage rates
- Easy repairs
ARC Welding Procedures:
- As with all surfacing products, the removal of any scale, rust or oxidation from the base material by machining or grinding is essential.
- The thickness of each layer should not exceed 3mm. (maximum 2 layers, 6mm).

The Astro Tungsten Carbide Welding Electrode is a hardfacing consumable for applying a surface that resists abrasion. Its crushed or spherical carbides sit in a high-grade nickel alloy matrix, keeping carbide sizes and their ratio consistent along the rod. Mining operations use it on rotating bucket teeth, where the protective surfacing can be rebuilt when required.
- The electrode uses a 6 mm tube
- Reduces distortion and oxidation of the base metal
- Maximum 3 mm per layer, with no more than two layers
- Floppy rod also available for oxy work
- Faster coverage rates
