E Fe6 is an AWS A5.13 air-hardening martensitic iron-based hardfacing SMAW electrode that deposits a tough, abrasion-resistant overlay (50-60 HRC as-welded) for protecting steel components from severe metal-to-earth abrasion. Standard choice for hardfacing bucket teeth, dredge cutterheads, ripper points, mixer paddles, and other earth-moving wear surfaces. The deposit is not machinable in the as-welded condition. DC+ or AC, flat and horizontal positions preferred.
