Don't replace expensive industrial components when you can rebuild them better than new with Hobart Tube-Alloy 868-S. This premium 3/32-inch hardfacing wire is designed for the submerged arc welding process, offering a cost-effective solution for extending the life of parts subjected to heavy metal-to-metal wear. Ideal for shops handling large-scale repairs, this wire comes in a massive 600 lb Auto-Pak, ensuring you have the material needed for long, uninterrupted welding runs.
The Tube-Alloy 868-S deposits a tough, martensitic steel layer that resists wear while maintaining enough ductility to prevent cracking under impact. It is the go-to choice for rebuilding crane wheels, idlers, and rollers. One of the key benefits of this wire is its machinability; after welding, the deposit can be machined down to precise dimensions using standard carbide tools, allowing you to return parts to their original specifications with a durable new surface.
By utilizing the submerged arc process, this wire provides high deposition rates and smooth, slag-free finishes (when used with appropriate flux), reducing post-weld cleanup time. The 600 lb drum packaging is perfect for automated setups, reducing the frequency of changeovers and helping your shop maintain high productivity. Choose Hobart Tube-Alloy 868-S for reliable, high-quality buildup and hardfacing that keeps your heavy equipment running longer.
