HPP 150

    ULTIMATE DISSIMILAR STEEL
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Because maintenance shops often have old or inexpensive welding equipment, HPP150 has been formulated to provide the best possible arc stability, even under adverse conditions.  It is amazingly stable on low, open circuit voltages, AC buzz box welding machines.  The weld metal transfer is especially smooth and there is almost no spatter.  Arc restrike is instantaneous.  We have even managed to make the slag virtually self-releasing.  It is without a doubt the best possible product to use on unknown steels and dissimilar metal combinations.


TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:  Due to its exceptional strength and crack resistance, it is ideal for repairing tools, dies, spring steel, and any dissimilar metal combinations, with the exception of the aluminum and copper alloys.  Because the weld metal is so tough, it is recommended for repairing worn parts, and also as an underlayment for hardfacing.  Because of its low amperage requirements and exceptional ease of its use, it is the first choice for both home hobbyists and maintenance welders.

Procedure:  The area in which the weld is to be made should be free of rust, grease, paint and other materials which cause weld contamination.  A 900 vee should be used when joining heavy sections.  High carbon steels should be preheated to 3500F(1770C).  The interpass temperature should be kept below 5000F (2600C).  Alignment should be maintained by the use of fixtures, tack welds, or other types of mechanical support.  Maintain a short arc length and use stringer beads.  Avoid weaving whenever possible.
