Characteristics and field of use
UTP 630 is suited for particularly tough, crack resistant joints and surfacings on high strength
steels, hard-manganese steels and heterogeneous joints. Suitable for surfacings on parts
subjected to impact, pressure and rolling wear, such as rails, curved rails, switches, rolls etc. and
for tough buffer layers under hard alloys. A main application field is for repair and maintenance in
the constructional industry.
UTP 630 is easily weldable with stable arc, homogeneous, finely rippled bead appearance and
gives good slag removal. The fully austenitic weld metal is resistant to corrosion and to scale up to
850°C. The weld metal is work-hardenable.
