S604019-029 - Hobart Tube-Alloy 240-O Hardfacing Wire 1/16" 33lb Spool

Extend Equipment Life with Hobart Tube-Alloy 240-O

When your heavy machinery takes a beating, Hobart Tube-Alloy 240-O is the hardfacing wire you need to get back to work. This 1/16-inch self-shielded flux-core wire is built to tackle the toughest wear environments, depositing a chromium-carbide alloy that stands up to severe abrasion and heavy pounding. It is the perfect choice for welders repairing earth-moving equipment, agricultural tools, and industrial processing machinery that grind against rock, sand, and concrete daily.

Welding with Tube-Alloy 240-O is designed to be as hassle-free as possible for a hardfacing product. Because it is self-shielded, you don't need to drag gas cylinders out to the field or job site, making it excellent for on-site repairs. The wire runs with a steady arc and produces very little spatter, meaning less cleanup time and more arc-on time. Its low slag formation is a major bonus, especially if you are setting up for automatic welding runs, as it prevents slag inclusion issues between passes.

This 33 lb spool provides ample material for substantial resurfacing jobs. It is commonly used on parts like bulldozer blades, bucket teeth, augers, and crusher rolls. By applying a protective layer of Tube-Alloy 240-O (up to three layers thick), you can restore worn dimensions and add a protective shield that outlasts standard steel. Note that this wire is best run using a horizontal shelf technique. Invest in Hobart quality to reduce downtime and save money on replacement parts.
