S544051-033 - Hobart Hardalloy 140 5/32" Hardfacing Stick Electrode (10lb Can)

Extend Equipment Life with Superior Abrasion Resistance

When your heavy equipment takes a beating from sand, rock, and earth, the Hobart Hardalloy® 140 5/32" hardfacing electrode is your go-to solution for extending part life. This stick rod is designed to lay down a hard, protective layer of high chromium carbide steel that acts as a shield against severe abrasion. Whether you are welding up worn bucket teeth on an excavator, reinforcing a plow share on the farm, or fixing a crusher jaw in a quarry, this rod provides the durability you need to keep working longer without expensive part replacements.

Welders appreciate the Hardalloy 140 for its ease of use and versatility. Unlike some specialty hardfacing rods that can be temperamental, this electrode runs smoothly on both AC and DC+ welders. It strikes easily and maintains a stable, quiet arc, producing a smooth bead that looks good and requires minimal cleanup. The slag lifts off easily, which is a huge plus when you are out in the field trying to get a repair done quickly. It is designed to be welded in the flat and horizontal positions, making it perfect for building up surfaces on heavy parts that can be positioned for downhand welding.

This rod isn't just tough; it's heat-resistant too. It keeps its hardness even when subjected to temperatures up to 1200°F, so it won't soften up if your equipment gets hot during operation. It's ideal for overlaying carbon steel or manganese steel parts. However, because the deposit is so hard, you should limit your buildup to three layers maximum to prevent the weld from cracking. If you need to build up a very worn part, use a buildup rod first, then cap it with Hardalloy 140 for the final wear surface.

From augers and bulldozer blades to screw conveyors and tampers, the Hardalloy 140 is a versatile tool in any welder's arsenal. It offers a balance of extreme abrasion resistance with enough impact toughness to handle the knocks and bangs of daily operation. Packaged in a durable 10 lb hermetically sealed can, these rods stay dry and ready to burn whenever you need them. Stop replacing worn metal and start protecting it with Hobart's trusted hardfacing technology.
