Postalloy®
Description
TUNGSTEN CARBIDE TUBULAR ELECTRODE
Postalloy® 220HD contains increased levels of tungsten carbide compared to Postalloy® 219HD, with additional chrome and cobalt for toughness. The unique blend of Tungsten Carbide and Chrome provides a high polish in service to reduce the coefficient of friction. When protection against severe abrasion is needed, Postalloy® 220HD is an ideal choice.
• 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. Postalloy® 220HD is over 90% efficient.
• High deposition rates - up to 3 times faster than ordinary electrodes
• Moisture resistant coating, even under severe weather or high humidity

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