39 Hardness
of Deposited Metal: Two
layer deposit on 1045 steel—weaving technique—
58 Rockwell C Abrasion
Resistance: Excellent Heat
Resistance: Excellent up to 1000°F (538°C)
Impact Resistance: Light
Compressive Strength: Good
Machinability: Non-machinable.
Finish by grinding. Relief
Checking: A uniform pattern of check cracks appears in the deposit as it
cools, indicating the excellent stress-relief characteristics
of this alloy. This check crack pattern is necessary to prevent distortion in
large parts when an alloy of this hardness
and alloy content is applied. Typical
