TUNGSTEN CARBIDE TUBULAR ELECTRODE
When protection with tungsten carbide is needed, Postalloy® 219HD is an ideal choice. Weld deposits contain tungsten carbide in a chromium cobalt rich matrix, providing a good combination of abrasion resistance with impact toughness. Other features include:
   • Easy out-of-position weldability with the 1/4" diameter
   • Excellent AC or DC operation, even on a "buzz box"
   • Low amperage and high metal recovery - no slag to chip
   • High deposition rates - up to 3 times faster than ordinary electrodes
   • Moisture resistant coating, even under severe weather or high humidity
Postalloy® 219HD hardfacing is a unique concept in hard facing technology and is over 90% efficient. It's tubular design offers very smooth operational characteristics and permits higher travel speeds and much higher percentages of carbide forming elements contained in the core as compared to ordinary flux-coated electrodes.

Welding ProcedureRemove old hardfacing and any fatigued base metal. Postalloy® 250 gouging electrode is useful for this purpose. Preheat from 200-400°F (93-204°C) is recommended for steels with a carbon content of .25 to .45. Steels with a higher carbon level should be preheated from 400-700°F (204-371°C). Do not preheat austenitic manganese steel. Use a minimum arc length equal to about the diameter of the electrode. Hold the electrode at 90° to the work surface for proper application. Do not apply more than two layers. On manganese or hardened steel, an intermediate or cushion layer of Postalloy® 207 is recommended.
