S540444-033 - Hobart Hardalloy 118 1/8" Hardfacing Stick Electrode (10 lb Can)

Heavy-Duty Repair with Hardalloy 118

When your heavy equipment takes a beating, you need a welding electrode that hits back. The Hobart Hardalloy 118 1/8" electrode is your go-to solution for repairing and reinforcing parts that face extreme impact. Whether you are rebuilding worn-down crusher rolls, fixing cracked bucket teeth, or resurfacing railroad frogs, this rod lays down a deposit that gets tougher the more it gets hit. It’s designed to work harden rapidly, meaning the surface becomes more wear-resistant as your equipment operates, while the core remains tough and ductile to prevent cracking.

Welders will appreciate the smooth runability of the Hardalloy 118. It strikes a stable arc with minimal spatter, keeping your cleanup time to a minimum. The slag is designed to lift easily, which is a huge advantage when you are laying down multiple passes to build up a worn surface. You can run this electrode on either DCEP or AC, giving you flexibility depending on your machine setup. It handles well in flat, horizontal, and vertical-up positions, allowing you to tackle repairs right on the equipment without needing to dismantle everything.

Packaged in a 10 lb hermetically sealed can, these electrodes stay fresh and dry, ready for critical jobs where porosity is not an option. If you are looking to extend the life of your impact crushers, dredge pumps, or sizing screens, Hardalloy 118 provides the reliability and performance professional fabricators trust. It also acts as a perfect cushion layer before applying harder, more brittle abrasion-resistant facings, ensuring your hardfacing job doesn't spall off under pressure.
