Lincoln Wearshield ME is an DIN 8555 E10-UM / EN 14700 E Fe14 (no AWS A5.13 match) SMAW stick electrode family with n/a (hardfacing weld metal - characterized by hardness) tensile and DC+ or AC, flat and horizontal preferred operation. WeldingMart stocks 3 package and diameter variants of this grade, all sharing the same AWS classification - select the diameter and package format that fits your application below.
E Fe14 is a DIN 8555 / EN 14700 high-carbon high-chromium iron-based hardfacing SMAW electrode (no direct AWS A5.13 classification) that deposits an extremely abrasion-resistant chromium-carbide overlay (55-65 HRC) for severe metal-to-earth and metal-to-mineral wear service. Standard choice for hardfacing sand and slurry pump components, ash-handling chutes, conveyor screws, and dredge cutterheads. The deposit develops stress-relief cracks (cross-checks) by design - these are normal and not a defect. DC+ or AC, flat and horizontal positions preferred.
