Rutile-coated austenitic-ferritic special stick welding rods with high mechanical values and excellent welding properties. UTP 653 is suitable for joining and surfacing on difficult weldable steels as well as for claddings on non-alloy structural steel and low-alloyed steels. Due to the good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, UTP 653 is particularly used in repair and maintenance of machines and components, such as gears, cams, shafts, hot trim plates, and dies. UTP 653 has fine metal droplet transfer, finely rippled bead surface, and easily removable slag. The weld deposit is corrosion resistant, crack-resistant, and can be work-hardened. Benefits: - Extend the life of machine components - Reduce downtime - Improve productivity - Save money on repairs and replacements Features: - Excellent wear resistance and abrasion resistance - Corrosion resistant - Crack resistant - Work hardenable - Smooth, slag-free weld deposit - Easy to use Applications: - Repair and maintena
