The Lincoln Wearshield Super Rail Stick (SMAW) Electrode is a specialized hardfacing SMAW electrode designed for hardfacing austenitic manganese alloy (Hadfield manganese steel) rail components. The Wearshield Super Rail deposit work-hardens rapidly on impact without cracking — making it ideal for rail ends, crossing points, and manganese steel repair. The deposit only slightly distorts on impact and reduces carbon steel repair frequency by up to 50% compared to unprotected manganese rail components.
