Excelloy 54 AC/DC ±

For high strength, low alloy steels, a low hydrogen electrode for preparing T-1 type materials

The Excelloy 54 produces dense, porosity free welds in all operating positions. Its exceptional elongation and ductility coupled with an 115,000-PSI tensile strength makes the Excelloy 54 the ideal electrode for critical repair welds on heavy equipment. Weld deposits are x-ray quality and crack free.

Applications

For joining and build-up of high strength quenched and tempered steels such as USS T-1, Jalloy, HY 80, HY 90, and HY 100. Commonly used for repair welds on all types of construction, mining, and earth moving equipment.

Procedure

Clean and prepare weld zone in accordance with standard welding practice. No preheat is necessary when ambient temperature is above 50F. Heavy sections (3/4” or thicker) should be preheated between 150-200F. Interpass temperature should not exceed 600F. Run stringer beads while maintaining a short arc length.
